User level: Level 1 (5 points)My iphone 16 plus cannot connect with my hoco type-c wired earphones which is modeled 6dc17. Although my iphone connects well to the charging and my earphones connect well to my ipad and my laptop, my iphone cannot connect to my old earphones anymore after my phone was updated to ios 27. What’s wrong with my phone😭

Sometimes a simple Force Restart cures odd little things and is something I do after EVERY iOS update. Try this and see if it helps --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

OK. You have nothing to lose by trying this:
Settings > Sounds & Haptics > USB Audio Accessories > Forget ALL USB Audio Accessories - then connect them again and see if they'll work. If no change, I'd reach out to the manufacturer of the wired headphones and see what suggestions they have.
I haven't honestly used wired headphones with any of my devices in several years now. Bluetooth is just so liberating to not have to be tethered to my iPhone/iPad/MacBook Pro.

The same could be said " what is wrong with your old earphones?" Since other type c connection works with your phone.
