iOS 14 more finely reduces the maximum volume |igeneration

iOS 14 adds a new option that improves maximum volume reduction on headphones or with a helmet. Jusque-là, le système mobile d’Apple proposait une limite « dure » dans les Réglages > Musique > Volume maximum.Once defined, it was not possible to mount the volume beyond this limit when using headphones or helmet.

Avec iOS 14, l’option a été remplacée par un nouveau réglage, cette fois dans Sons et vibrations > Diminuer les sons forts.The option is deactivated by default in the first beta of the system, but you can activate it and then choose a maximum volume, expressed in decibels.Apple offers six options, from 75 dB to 100 dB, each time an equivalent in everyday life: the sound of a vacuum cleaner, a restaurant, a street, a motorcycle, aKlaxon and finally an ambulance mermaid.

Once this option is activated, you can always use the complete amplitude of the volume setting, there is no hard block at a level as before.On the other hand, beyond the defined level, iOS 14 will actively bridge the sounds, taking into account real-time from the source.The effect looks more like a filter placed on an enclosure than a simple clamping.

This new function is available for headphones and helmets equipped with Apple's Bluetooth chip, including AirPods, but also for other headsets and headphones.I was able to test it with a Beyerdynamic helmet connected via the Belkin Rockstar adapter and it fully fulfilled its role.It is also not limited to iPhone, iPads can also benefit from it and even watchos 7 watches have this option in their app.

The Health App had won with iOS 13 a section dedicated to hearing health and at the average level of listening with headphones and a helmet.You can use this data to configure the new iOS 14 function, depending on your habits.
