Thanks for the article link. I don't think my problem is the same as that discussed in the article nor do I think it's bad earpods. I probably should have mentioned in my original post that the problem disappears when I take my iPhone 7 out of my pocket and continue the conversation using my earpods. For some reason, having the device in my pocket seems to be the problem causer.

Have you tried other wired headphones to make sure it's not an issue with that particular set of earpods? Also, give this article on 9To5Mac from earlier today regarding the iPhone 7 and iOS 11.3 involving failing microphones. Sounds like it may possibly be related to your issue. https://9to5mac.com/2018/05/04/iphone-7-mic-failure-ios-11-3/ -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kimber Gardner Sent: Friday, May 4, 2018 11:45 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Do others have issue with iPhone performance when talking on wired earpods with phone in pocket? While I haven't experienced the particular scenario you described, I have seen something similar when attempting to dictate a text while using the wired earpods. The results of the dictation are completely garbled and show no resemblance to what I actually said. I dictate on my iPhone quite often and with a very high degree of accuracy except in the scenario I just described. Not sure what the common thread may be, but it's interesting to hear that others are experiencing the same type of behavior.
