    If you’re wondering, no, Android does not track the sound dose for music played over Bluetooth speakers or headphones, as the actual sound level of these devices can be set independently of the Android device.

    Apparently, it will not work for Bluetooth audio devices. With wired being used less overall. Makes this feature a bit redundant unless they add support for Bluetooth.

        Even with wired headphones, the volume setting didn’t directly correspond to a decibel level. High quality headphones often have a higher impedance than cheaper ones, which makes them much quieter (unless you use an external amp). The automatic volume reducer thing was just always pretty frustrating in the past.

          Especially when you’re driving and it suddenly reduces the volume to the point where it’s barely audible, forcing you to fumble around with your phone. And now that’s apparently gonna happen even more often.

        Or at the very least a 2nd USB type C port. Personally, use wireless wouldn’t mind using wired if my future phones were guaranteed to include that option.

          Yeah, as much as I want my headphone jack back, they could at least give us an additional port even if its another USB c
