My Apple EarPods plug heats up very easily

The part of my apple earphones that I plug in at the bottom corner of my iPhone, the adapter, heats up very easily, almost as soon as I plug the earphones into my phone and I hardly ever use them, I only use them about once a week and only a couple of minutes on every occasion so I don't know whether that's a warning sign, is it normal or is there something I need to look into fixing?

Greetings aali84, 


Let’s isolate this situation a bit more. These two tests should give us some indication as to whether the issue is related to your iPhone or the headphones themselves. 


If you use the EarPods with another device does the same thing happen? 

• Yes? EarPods related

• No? Move to next step. 


If you use another pair of headphones with your iPhone, does the same thing happen? 

• Yes? iPhone related

• No? Let’s also explore if there are any other adapters or devices in the mix at the same time. 


Thanks.
