Q: Stuck in headphone mode after connecting bluetooth headphones

My iPhone 6s is stuck in headphone mode after I connected to JBL Everest 100 bluetooth headphones.   It won't play the internal speaker

 

I've done the obvious:

-turned off bluetooth

-hard reset

-reset settings

-restored as new phone

-connected to another bluetooth device

 

Before I take it to a service provider, are there any suggestions?  I've only found a couple other scattered posts suggesting that connecting to a bluetooth audio device could cause this problem.   

 

Thank you

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.5

    Bizarre solution - I was setting a new ringer and when it previewed the new sound I picked, it finally got out of headphone mode.   Unreal

    This is a well known issue.  

     

    I experienced it with new iPhone6s purchased in June.  GeniusBar weren't in "genius mode" and intimated that I must've dropped it.   I exchanged with Verizon and got a refurb replacement which itself was broken in some other way so I had to immediately return it.  Got my third iPhone in 3 months yesterday and went through third install.  Things went well for a day, then I used my bluetooth headphones and the problem arose again. 

     

    I'm exceedingly frustrated and am seriously contemplating returning for a Samsung.  Seems superior in many ways although I wanted to avoid the hassle of switching platforms.  The hassle i'm experiencing now is making this a near inevitability.
