OK, so here is a weird one. I was about to throw away the original, non working headphones yesterday, and decided to try one final charge to bring them to life. I plugged them in and nothing happened, but I got sidetracked and forgot about them for a couple of hours.
When I noticed them again, they had been charging ! I let them charge fully and repaired them with the phone - Guess what? They behaved in exactly the same way as the new pair !
This can only mean that the headphones haven't changed, but something with the phone has. Considering I have not been in the setting to mess about and I have not installed any new apps or deleted any, I can only think it's due to some kinda update to the phone...
Anyway, I thought Id post a follow up incase anyone has the same issue and searches in the future
