Shazam doesn't work to recognize music when head phones on

I am a recent entrant into this apple world because my son handed down his iPhone SE2. So trying to do everything that I could do in the past.

So something I used to often while driving and listening to the radio, mostly Hits radio, is "OK Google what's this song".

When I try the same with the new phone, the Shazam says "Sorry I can't recognize music right now, try in a little while". then I figured out it's because I have powerbeats pro headphones on and connected. If I take off the headphones, then music recognition works fine.

Ironically the music search on google used to work fine with these same headphones connected!


Is there a workaround?
