Q: problem with lightning earpods

Just got an iPhone 7 and no real complaints about the lack of headphone jack or any of that nonsense. My problem is with the earpods that shipped with the phone. These are the ones that connect to the lightning port.

 

When I'm walking with the phone in my pocket (no, I don't wear tight jeans) the audio will cut out every 10 steps. The phone will no longer recognize them as headphones. After a few times unplugging and plugging back in, I can listen again. Walking up stairs? forget about it!

 

Has anyone come up with a good fix. Just doesn't seem like the lightning connection is as sturdy as the old headphone jack.

iPhone 7, iOS 10
