Q: Popping (not hissing) on EarPods with lightning adapter

I am currently wearing my headphones with a 3.5 mm jack plugged into the adaptor provided with my iPhone 7 Plus. Whenever I switch apps or a sounds plays after a little bit of silence I hear a subtle but VERY annoying "popping" sound.  I have the latest iOS, 10.0.2.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I left my new EarPods with the lightning connector at work so I have yet to see if the problem is isolated to the adapter.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10

    I am having this same issue. It's only happening with the adapter.  And only on a certain pair of headphones. and it will intermittently stop. Also restarting the phone fixes the issue. Which leads to to believe this is a software issue. The lightning EarPods also work fine. as does Bluetooth. Just using adapter with a certain pair of headphones causing the popping and skipping in music sounds.  Very annoying.
