I have this problem with Bose SoundSport headphones and FaceTime Audio. The ring and answer tones are often painfully loud. Over three years and several firmware updates, it's still not fixed.

I think Bose has become unable to focus on user experience. This is shown by: 1) their decision to remove physical buttons, 2) ignoring counterfeit products sold on Amazon, and 3) failing to make their $350 bluetooth headphones pause music when you take them off.

I take the last point as a feature. I don't want the music to stop when I put the headset on my shoulders.

Totally. I would say: pausing is the sort of feature that shouldn't be added without a user having to explicitly activate it
