When you pair a Bluetooth device with your iPhone, it will allow the sound from your iPhone to come through another device. Whether that's a pair of headphones or a speaker, you can enjoy your audio through the device you want. However, your iPhone can't tell what type of device you've paired to your iPhone. That's changed with iOS 14.4. 

You can now classify your Bluetooth devices on iPhone and iPad to let your phone or tablet know what type of device it is be it headphones, speakers, or even a hearing aid. Now, when you pair your best noise-canceling headphones, your iPhone and iPad will know what type of device they are. Here's how you can classify your Bluetooth devices on iPhone and iPad.

Our AirPods Max review raves about just how great headphones can be on your iPhone or iPad and part of that greatness is because your iPhone and iPad can tell that the AirPods Max is a pair of headphones. Non-Apple Bluetooth headphones, speakers, and other devices don't have the same chips to tell your iPhone or iPad about what type of device they are, and this causes your iPhone or iPad to treat all Bluetooth devices as the same by default. Have you ever paired a Bluetooth speaker with your iPhone and starting playing music only to find out the volume is way too low? Or, maybe you connected a pair of headphones to your iPad and got blasted by music that was too loud classifying your Bluetooth devices should help alleviate this issue.

If you correctly classify your Bluetooth devices on iPhone and iPad, you should get improved audio notifications, and headphone audio level measurements will be more accurate.
