Apple music playback speed

Sometimes, when I try to play a song on apple music, it will start playing and speed up (a five minute song plays back in a few seconds). This happens on strong and weak connections, as well as streamed and downloaded songs. It only seems to happen when I use the old Apple Stereo Headphones (the perfectly round ones). Anyone know what's causing this?

iPhone 8, iOS 16

Hey there SadChalk,


We understand you've noticed that your music plays fast when you connect your EarPods. We'd be happy to provide information to help you address this.


Test to see if this happens with another pair of headphones. If it doesn't, it may be an issue with the EarPods themselves.


Kind regards.
