Does any headphones work with your phone?

Yes other headphones work and these used to but I don't know when they stopped and don't want to buy more in case they don't work too.

That's odd, you could boot in >>> safe mode this will disable third party apps that could be acting up

Read my posts. By a strange coincidence, after upgrading to Android 8.0.0 Oreo on our smartphone stopped working high-quality headphones.

Today my Android 8.0.0 Oreo got a new build 34.4.A.2.50

My headset Audio-Technica is working again. I think that with this build will work and other headsets mentioned in this blog. I think that this problem is Android 8.0.0 Oreo removed.

Thank you all for your help and participation.

I'm using an B&O BeoPlay H3 ANC, and the upgrade to 34.4.A.2.50 did nothing for me.

They worked perfectly fine under Android 7, but throughout all Oreo version they are not detected by the phone.

However, but using completly passive 3,5mm headphone jack adapter I can trick the phone and use them. So I'm fairly sure there are still some software shenanigans going on.
