How to Make an iPhone Louder in Headphones
Want to make your headphones or AirPods even louder than the maximum volume while listening on your iPhone? We'll show you how to find the hidden settings on your iPhone that will increase your phone's volume limit, how to find a volume booster app, and how to adjust your iPhone's equalizer (EQ) for the best sound quality.
Steps

Using the iPhone Volume Control Buttons

Open a song or video on your iPhone. Look for the music app on your home screen or pinned at the bottom. It's a white icon with a colorful musical symbol. You can also open a song or video from YouTube, SoundCloud, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media services. Or, open one that has been sent to you.

Play the song or video. Tap on the song to start playing, or look for the triangular play icon.

Press the Volume Up button on your iPhone. It's with a pair of buttons on the left side of the phone—the one closest to the top is Volume Up and the bottom one is Volume Down. A Volume indicator will pop up on the screen with the word Volume if it is changing the media volume. If the volume indicator says Ringer, then you are adjusting the ringtone volume, but not the media volume. To adjust media volume, make sure a song or video is currently playing through the phone. Tap until the volume is at the level you would like.
