Headphones acting weird

My iphone headphones repeat whatever is happening in the room. We were watching TV and I had one bud in but nothing was playing. All of a sudden it was repeating the commercial that was on, like it was listening. It’s repeated what my husband says too. It’s creepy and I want to know. If I can turn it off. They’re not official Apple, they’re Amazon brand. They also randomly turn on music.

iPhone SE, iOS 14

FWIW. if you didn't know. Amazon is an Apple Authorized Reseller. Are you sure that they are not Apple AirPods as I'm not sure what an Amazon brand would be?


If they are AirPods, they could potentially have three different types of "noise control" modes:

  1. Active Noise Cancellation
  2. Transparency Mode
  3. Off


It appears that yours is configured for the second option.
