Hi Johnnyboy2901,


Check out and complete the steps in the article here: If your headphones don't work with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Specifically, the section that states:


"Check for debris, damage, or loose connections


  1. Check for debris in the headphone port on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. 
  2. Check your headphone cable, connector, remote, and earbuds for damage, like wear or breakage. 
  3. Look for debris on the meshes in each earbud. To remove debris, gently brush all openings with a small, soft-bristled brush that's clean and dry. 
  4. Firmly plug your headphones back in. If your iOS device has a case, remove the case to get a firm connection. "


If the issue remains, continue with the additional steps in the article. Reach out to Apple Support directly if there's no resolution from said remaining steps.
