This is a great idea. I wish there were such a device for Bluetooth! I have earbuds that seal quite well and, at least on my Android device, there's a volume setting around 20% that's slightly too loud, and one around 10% that's slightly too soft. The rocker buttons do not seem to allow me to reach any intermediate setting.
Meanwhile the entire upper 60% of the volume range has zero utility. I cannot imagine the pain that max volume would induce.
- JonathonW 9y agoDoes your Android phone have an option to limit the maximum volume? Depending on how it's implemented, that may give you more resolution out of the rocker buttons. If the option exists, it may be in with other audio/volume options, or it could be with the parental controls options.
- mohn 9y agoMy approach to solving that problem in software was to play music through an app with an equalizer where I could cut several dB across all frequencies (see my other post above). Now I can use much more of the system volume range with the rocker buttons before I reach a painful volume. If you're listening to something like YouTube, or streaming audio through a web browser, then a music player app isn't going to cut it for you. There are some systemwide EQ apps, but I think they didn't work well (or maybe at all) on my 2014 Moto X, so I can't recommend any specific one.
