I recently got a new Sencor wireless headphones, but my issue with it is that the volume is weird. My phone is a Samsung Note 9.

Straight out of the box, the volume at the lowest level is loud. I would expect the volume to be enough to hear faint music and all background noises (like with wired headphones), but with my headphones, the volume seems to be moderate and I can’t hear background noises clearly without having to fully mute my volume.

I tried disabling absolute volume in developer options, but while I was able to get the volume to act in a reasonable level, the headphone’s local volume setting kept going to the minimum volume whenever my phone stopped playing any sound. It’s quite annoying since I would have to adjust the headphone’s local volume again and again. So it got rid of the first problem, but I ended up with a worse one.

I tried restarting and using safe mode, but neither worked.

Does anyone experience this too? Is there a permanent fix?
