I’m at the gym and the music sounds lower compared to what I remember on the 13.

Has anyone else noticed this? When I connected the headphones I received a message about having loud music and how it affects hearing. I turned that off though.
 
I just tested both my iPhone 12 Pro Max and my new iPhone 14 Pro Max and the audio quality is better on the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the volume is just the same as the iPhone 12 Pro Max through the headphones but through the speakers the iPhone 14 Pro Max is considerably louder and I mean very loud even with eq set to Hip Hop it sounds like as it’s very loud where the iPhone 12 Pro Max with the same eq settings the volume is very low from the speakers. But from the headphones I feel the iPhone 14 Pro Max has much better stereo sound and it might just a tad bit louder due to the clarity of the sounds output. Also I used the Apple lightning headphones for this test and my Bose Car Audio system.
