How to set a volume limit on ios for apple music

The use of headphones is ideal to enjoy your favorite music without disturbing those who are nearby, however, improper use, in the long run, could cause hearing problems. Therefore, setting a volume limit is an ideal option, especially for those who tend to listen to music at high intensity, but also so that parents can prevent their children from overdoing the sound.

How to limit volume on iOS

As a general rule, we should not listen to music above 70% volume, except in those situations with very noisy environments that, in any case, would be temporary. Therefore, to safeguard the health of our hearing system, Apple implemented the possibility of limiting the maximum volume on iOS.

It is a solution as useful as it is simple, and especially recommended for those who, sometimes unconsciously, raise the volume too much with the use of headphones. Let's see how to do it:

1. First, go to the Settings application on your iPhone. Scroll down to the Music option and tap on it. Now select the Volume limit option located in the Playback section. Lastly, use the sliders located at the top of the screen to Set a maximum volume limit when you are listening to music.If you prefer, you can activate the EU Volume Limit option, which automatically sets this maximum to the 70 percent that we mentioned before.

In some countries, the volume limit is on by default and cannot be turned off without changing the default region on iOS. This is not the case in EU countries such as Spain, so we recommend that you make use of this option. As a negative point, we should mention that some headphones like the AirPods themselves have a relatively low volume ceiling due to the lack of noise isolation, so you may need to turn the volume up higher than indicated.
