Why are my wired earphones not working when connected to my iphone 16 pro ?

What kind of connection are you using? If you're using an adapter, it's possible that the adapter has gone bad. Can you try using the headphones on something else to test them?

You might also want to try updating to iOS 18.5 if you haven't already.
