iPhone 7 Headphones not working

My iPhone 7 only works 1/2 of the time with the headphone to lightning jack. I have to answer or start a call, then I can plug in my headphones. If I start the call with the headphones in, no one can hear me.

Anyone else notice this issue?

iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2

Just got new lightning earphones, but when I tried plugging into iPad, played through speakers.


Fix: shut dow iPad, restart with lightning earphones plugged in (I'm not sure if that is really required, but it worked for me). Sound now plays through lightning earphones on iPad (iPad Pro 12", iOS 10.2).
