    While I like the concept, I don’t think it’s going to be very useful

    A given volume, e.g. 50% can be vastly different on different headphones/earbuds. Only really useful on 1st party products

      It’s should to be close enough, the spec is called sensitivity (SPL) and most headphone manufacturers try to hit around 100dB/mW.
      Hopefully the setting would allow you to fine tune it based on what headphones you have.

        Where exactly are you seeing that most manufactures are aiming for that spl?

        I own many headphones all with vastly different sensitivities. And headphones are almost always far less sensitive than IEM’s

      Samsung turns the volume icons green beyond 60%, and it’s much better than nothing; I would’ve raised the volume way above that way too often, if it weren’t for that feature.

      There’s a feature to limit increasing the volume beyond some point, which—if you enable—you’d have to disable it to increase the volume, but I find it unnecessary.
