Maybe it was the years of concerts with deafening speakers blasting music into my ears, but I always listen to my tunes as loud as the volume allows me. So, it's pretty annoying when I get a "high volume" warning every time I listen to music on my OnePlus One with my headphones on.

Warning message about raising volume above recommended level and potential hearing damage.

We've previously shown you how to remove this same warning by using the NoSafeVolumeWarning, an Xposed module that required root access. Thankfully, the very liberal OnePlus One has a built-in feature that lets you disable the high volume alert—no rooting or third-party apps required.

How to Disable the Warning

One your OnePlus One, navigate to Settings -> Sound -> Volumes. Once you're in the Volumes settings, uncheck that very inconspicuous box labeled "Safe headset volume," then hit "OK."
