Can’t use headphone accommodations

I’m using EarPods (with a lightning adapter), both from Apple and not some knock-off. I can’t use headphone accommodations however. Any way I can fix this?

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 14

Airpods pro 2 disconnecting when answering call I just bought some airpods pro 2 yesterday. I’m currently using an Iphone Xs. Everytime I answer a call with the headphones they disconnect and take about 10-15 sec until they reconnect. I’m on ios 16.1.1. The store replaced me the airpods as they thought it’s a hardware the defect but it’s the same with the new pair. I called the apple support and they couldn’t hell me as well and told me to reset my phone and update it again with the computer but nothing helped. I’m really hoping that this is something that can be resolved with a software update otherwise I just threw 300€ into the waste. I read on reddit that multiple people have this issue using the iphone Xs. Please let me know if there is a fix ASAP

AirPods Max stop music when announcing notifications My AirPods Max stop music when announcing notifications. My AirPods Pro just lower the volume. Is there a way to change it to the way the Pros do it?

Issues since 5B58 firmware update? Running the latest software on my iPhone 14 Pro and iPad Air 4. Ever since AirPods firmware 5B58 was released, my AirPods Pro (1st Gen, manufactured in 2021) have been nearly worthless. The right Airpod constantly disconnects and is very difficult to get to reconnect to either device. If I pause a show and then hit play later, I’m getting intermittent sounds, as though I am a long way away from the source Bluetooth signal and it’s cutting out (even though I’m within two feet). And I’m getting recurrent crackling sounds in certain circumstances. They were working perfectly until this week, but now super frustrating. Anyone else experiencing issues?

Hello shmackbob,

Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having trouble using Headphone Accommodations. We're happy to help. Looks like this feature is available for Apple EarPods (with 3.5 mm Headphone Plug or Lightning Connector). To confirm, do you have the latest version of iOS 14 installed? This can help us to isolate any software issues. In case you need to update, back up your iPad first to secure your data.

Cheers!
