We prove that $\operatorname{ vol}(S^{ d})/8$ is the highest volume of a pair of $d$-dimensional isospectral and non-isometric spherical orbifolds for any $d\geq5$. Furthermore, we show that $\operatorname{ vol}(S^{ 2n-1})/11$ is the highest volume of a pair of $(2n-1)$-dimensional isospectral and non-isometric spherical space forms if either $n\geq11$ and $n\equiv 1\pmod 5$, or $n\geq7$ and $n\equiv 2\pmod 5$, or $n\geq3$ and $n\equiv 3\pmod 5$.
