Brand new iPad pro with brand new usbc headphone jack, Sennheiser headphones are fine. Siri keeps activating every time I lift my iPad. I turned off Siri activating with top button. Only fix is to shut off Siri all together. Not good. Sometimes the audio quality is also an issue, but reconnecting port fixes that. I’ve shut down iPad a couple of times, but Siri still interrupts and pauses apps, e.g., Pandora, You Tube

kcjp11,
Thanks for clarifying that for us. Let's continue working together to sort this out.
If you use Apple headphones, does the issue persist?
Thanks!

Send over these details, and we'll take a closer look from there.
Take care.
I thought your request was a lot to ask since Apple no longer has headphones with a 3.5 nor do I know if any come with a usb-c to try. The last set of apple headphones I got has a lightning connector, so I cannot try those since I don’t have an adapter for that.
Amazingly, I did dig up an old pair of apple EarPods with the 3.5 jack to try. I could not replicate the problem, but volume and the play/pause buttons did not work.
I can also tell you my Sennheisers had no issue on my Apple ipad air 2 even with the ios 15.2 update.
Never had an issue using them on my iphone 11 with the 3.5 to lightning apple jack either.
Yes updated to 15.2- brand new
