My wireless headphones keep activating voice control if I press the button even if its deactivated

I have Sony Wf c500 earbuds, and an iPhone XS

I put them in to sleep sometimes and when I wake up I have accidentally activated voice control by laying on the button and called a bunch of people in my sleep. I turned off siri and voice control on my phone but it still happens. Is there a way to turn off voice control from headphones?

iPhone XS, iOS 15

Hello froge73,


In order to help resolve this issue, let's make sure you've turned off Classic Voice Control as this article states: Turn off Classic Voice Control on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Follow these steps:
1. On an iPhone X or later, go to Settings > Accessibility, then tap Side Button. On an iPhone 8 or earlier, go to Settings > Accessibility, then tap Home Button.
2. Under Press and Hold to Speak, select one of these options:
• Siri: Siri will respond when you press and hold the Home button.
• Classic Voice Control: Classic Voice Control will respond when you press and hold the Home button. This will also turn off Siri.
• Off: There will be no response when you press and hold the Home button.
The press and hold setting applies only to the Side or Home button. If you're using a headset, and it unexpectedly activates Siri or Classic Voice Control, make sure that your headset is fully inserted into the device.
If you have a loose or poor headset connection, frayed cables, or moisture on the connector or remote, it might unexpectedly activate Siri or Classic Voice Control. If the issue persists, try using a different headset.
