    Android devices sold in the EU display a warning when headphones are connected and the user tries to raise the output volume level above 85 dB

    No the don’t, they pop that up when you try to raise the volume above some arbitrary percentage. What volume that corresponds to depends on the audio hardware, it might be barely audible. And now they’re apparently gonna make that crap even worse.

      I had no idea this was eu specific…

      It’s annoying because I use my car volume knob, and keep my phone at max volume. It’s a pain when I’m driving and it cuts down the volume due to “extended amount of time at high volume”

        Same here. I have to turn the phone up to max and the car stereo up to near max for it to be audible
