Voice Control popping up when you plug in headphones is often due to a short in the headphone jack or the plug. This can send a false signal that triggers Voice Control or Siri. Try cleaning the headphone jack with compressed air or a small, soft-bristled brush to remove any lint or dirt. If the problem persists, check with another pair of headphones to determine if the issue is with the headphones or the device’s headphone jack. If it's the device, you might need professional repair.
