With Bluetooth headphone you can't reduce the volume independently from the Apple device. It means the music is too loud. How do I make the BT headphones not control iOS music volume like Android works?
Got a tip for us?

Perhaps I don’t understand the problem, but what you describe is not my experience. I’m currently using iOS 11 and I have independent controls for each sound output.
1) If I’m using my iPad’s internal speakers, the volume is at 4 notches
2) When I connect my Airpods, the volume changes to whatever it was previously with those (2 notches)
3) When I connect my M2 AEBTs, the volume changes again (6 notches)
Perhaps you need to restart your device?

The difference is that the volume controls of the BT device control the volume of the Apple device. On Android the BT device doesn't do anything to the volume of the Android device, but does increase/decrease volume of the BT device. Ergo, my point being that for BT on iOS that the lowest volume is too loud for the music and how do you fix that in iOS?
I got some Sony Bluetooth Headphones and i can turn up and down the colume on the headphones itself without changing the volume on the device itself. I can make it a lot louder this way
I have B&W P7, Ultimate Ears Jaybird BT cable and Weston BT cable and all 3 will lower/rase the volume from min to max. Also have a couple of BT speakers and they do also.
