Apple wants you to avoid damaging your hearing when you’re using an iPhone or iPad (but, strangely, not a Mac). In Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety, enable Reduce Loud Audio, and you can set a threshold above which your iPhone or iPad will moderate sound. It doesn’t create an abrupt cutoff, but it keeps you from hearing sounds above a particular level, measured using standard decibel units.
This setting will only affect you if it is enabled. all external audio devicesNot only wired or wireless headphones and earsbuds. Because Bluetooth doesn’t allow a phone or tablet to know what’s connected, just the kind of Bluetooth data requested, Apple throttles the maximum sound to all Bluetooth devices, including externally connected speakers.

Headphone Safety is a setting that controls all outputs via Bluetooth and wired headphones, earbuds, and other wireless connections.
