Hello christopheryurkoski.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're experiencing issues using your headphones with your Mac. Specifically when you connect them, iTunes will auto open and start playing music. Allow us to assist.


Let's test connecting your headphones in Safe Mode to see if iTunes plays automatically in there as well.

Next, we can test to see if connecting your headphones in another user account has the same effect.

Lastly, we can take a look to see if iTunes is automatically logging in when you start-up your Mac and disable that to make sure it is not opened when connecting your phones. You will follow the "Add or remove automatic items".
