Default Bluetooth Sound Quality??

I upgraded my phone and have noticed that the sound isn't as loud when I have Bluetooth on as the last phone. Should I use a aux cord or run it through the USB on the head unit? I have a Kenwood KMR-M318BT. Phone is a Samsung S8+

Thanks Chad

Is the volume turned all the way on your phone when connected? I have a galaxy s9 but also had a s7 and there is a point where it prompts you about turning it too loud that you have to go past by hitting ok on screen usually

Most of the new phones have a default that is around 1/2 volume, agree, make sure your phone is turned all the way up.

The phone is turned all the way up. Using Spotify. Used it on the S5 Sport phone. Just don't seem to get the same volume as with the S5.
