Inline headphone controls not working

Since last ios update 12.1.2 im now unable to operate function control on my headphones via inline cable controls. Able to play music from phone (iphone 6) no problem, but cannot start/stop, control volume or answer calls. I have noticed on the net quite a few conversations regarding this. Is the a fix coming soon as I just outlaid $300 for the headphones. It was working perfectly prior to latest upgrade.

Wired headphone problems So lately I’ve been trying to use my headphones to do things like listen to music, take calls, etc… And I’ve found that when there is no audio output my iPhone XR will show that headphones are connected, but after a few seconds of media playing through the headphones the phone will automatically switch to loud speaker, without pausing the media like it usually would. I have the apple wired headphones so there’s no cross branding, and everything was fine a couple of days ago. is there a way to fix this? is this a problem on apple’s end? will the world be taken over by toast? we may never know…

Issues when connecting lightning headphones to iphone 8 and ipad Hello, For a few days now, my iphone and ipad start acting up, when lightning headphones are plugged in. The music starts playing, without having the itunes or spotify apps up. Also when I make a phone call using the headphones the call gets disconnected right away or music starts playing while on the call and disconnects it within seconds. When watching videos on ipad, music just starts playing or the video stops and then jumps to another video. I thought this had to do with the headphones and got brand new ones, but the same problem is still happening. This wasn't happening prior to the iOS 12.1.4 update.
