It can be highly immersive to listen to audio at high volumes, but we all know it can result in some serious consequences of hearing damage. In order to protect the ears, Apple implemented a volume limit to prevent loud noises.

However, despite this, users may feel like the volume limit is too strict because this will limit their ability to use AirPods at maximum volume, causing a loss of enjoyment for them.

There is an option to remove the limiters if you would like your AirPods to sound louder.

  • Simply go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety > Activate Reduce Loud Sounds.
  • A slider will show up where you can modify your device’s optimum volume output.

Check your music app’s sound settings

If you use a music app such as YouTube Music, Spotify, etc., you will often find a difference between your device’s volume settings and these apps. You should first make sure that the volume sliders of these apps are pushed to the highest position before using the controls on your device to adjust the volume.

You must take a minute to ensure that none of your strange EQ settings have been enabled while you are poking around in the settings of your apps. It may sound much quieter than it is if you turn down some or all of the level adjusters.

Because your AirPods are worn in your ear, it is possible for ear wax, dirt, and dust to get inside your AirPods. The tiny openings in these earbuds give debris an easy way to enter and block the sound pathway.

So, you should clean your Airpods.

You will need several things to clean your AirPods, including rubbing alcohol, cotton pads, a clean toothbrush, and paper towels.

Ensure that you clean any debris or wax that may have accumulated in the sound openings of the Airpods and keep the dirt from falling further into the bud.
