According to a report from Business Insider, it seems that due to a software glitch, the volume controls on the Lightning EarPods will stop working after a few minutes of the headphones being plugged in.

It is yet to respond to claims that the new handsets have been making a hissing sound. Cases vary, with some asserting that it can happen while music is playing, switched off, or paused during the interval.
On the first day of pre-orders, which was September 9, Apple completely sold out of all iPhone 7s and 7 plus.
After that, the audio playback works without any glitches.
The music continues to play but the volume controls, answering calls and Siri dependent features become useless.
The bug is intermittent in appearing, but is clearly widespread enough to warrant a response from Apple. Furthermore, if you face the problem, you can remove and plugin the affected headset.
Apple said it will fix the problem in a future software update, but it did not say anything about when it plans to release the update that will fix the issue. This will resolve all the pending issues. Well, it’s because YouTube user TechRax already has headphone jack truthers out here believing all it takes to bring back the headphone jack is a drill and some will. Thus introducing the new AirPods, which are bluetooth headphones that will come with every phone, along with an adapter that will take the 3.5mm headphone jack for those who are in denial and refuse to conform.

It is said that the problem also occurs even when using a third-party headset via its Lightning-to-3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (which is also included in the box). Moreover, the lightning port produces enhanced audio output. In the meantime, we’re reaching out to Apple for comment on this video to see if they can offer up an explanation for the slower times exhibited by their new device. Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that Cupertino will not make available the first weekend sales figures for the new smartphones, Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
