I just made a comment elsewhere in this thread regarding the absolutely awful behavior iOS had for 3rd party bluetooth headphone volume until a recent (~18 months or so) update. Every time I connected my Sony headset over bluetooth the system volume would reset to max, sometimes seemingly only after I had hit the play button in spotify. I am fairly certain this actually damaged my hearing after several occurrences of getting up, throwing my headphones on as I walked out the door, and blasting myself with max volume playback by accident. Even now that the issue has been fixed, I habitually check the device volume anytime I connect something on bluetooth. To this day I'm astounded Apple shipped such problematic behavior over the course of repeated iOS updates. I think it was fixed around the time they started to provide feedback about listening volumes in Apple Health.
