Hello jpsmd


From what I'm understanding, you're asking if having headphones plugged in is disabling the microphones on your iPhone, correct?


On a phone call with the headphones plugged in, the phone will use the microphone on the headphone cable. If you switch to speakerphone, it will use to the phone's microphones.


Here is an article walking through features of the Apple headphones:

Hopefully this helps!
