usbc headphones and iOS 27.0.1

Since updating my iPad to iOS 27.0.1 my usbc headphones are not being recognized. Is there a fix for that issue?

Hi there.


Please try this to see If you can get your USB C EarPods working again


  • Unlock your iPad first: Unlock your iPad completely to the home screen before plugging in the USB-C headphones directly. 
  • Reset USB Audio Accessories: Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety > USB Audio Accessories, and select Forget All USB Audio Accessories, then unplug and reconnect them.
