Notifications sounds still audible with headphones plugged in

Anyone know why? 32GB s6 on UK Vodafone

Every Android phone I've had does this. It's also true with bluetooth headpnones.

This is the very feature that took me away from the iPhone. I always have (bluetooth) earbuds connected. If the buds are not in my ear at the time a notifications arrives, I won't hear it. Frankly, if iPhone had this feature, I'd probably go back. OK, not sure but maybe...

You could probably fix it by using Tasker. I would think you could easily build a profile if headphones connected, notification volume = 0. But then you wouldn't hear it in your headphones either.

You can fix this in your notification settings

I can't see anything in there at all, can you be specific about exactly where?
