Why i can not work with my wired earphones unless i turn the bluetooth on, inside my iphone 11

[johnjohn123123]

I bought a new iPhone 11 128GB, software version 14.3. and i bought a non-genuine wired Earphone named VIGO. now if i plug the wired earphones inside the charger port of my iPhone, the sound will keep coming from the iPhone and not from the Earphones, i went to the shop where i bought the wired earphones from and he mentioned that to connect the earphones with my iphone 11 i need to turn the bluetooth on, and which seems true!!.. so I am not sure why i need to turn the bluetooth on for my wired earphone to work ...

Any advice ?

Never have I heard of wired headphones, which need bluetooth to be turned on.
Only possibility i can think of is that those VIGO are using bluetooth for audio transfer, but the cable to power them over the lightning port.??‍♂️
But maybe I'm also completely wrong.

i do not think that the wired earphones have any Bluetooth inside it.. not mentioned in the earphones manual.. i search the web for similar issue and i could only find this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8524158 !! so seems it is not a wide problem...

Probably unrelated; but I once bought a third party lightning to 3.5mm dongle. It attaches at the lightning port, draws the power but connect audio via bluetooth and then pass it to my non-bluetooth earbuds. I don't know why they make it this way though.

Can you post a picture of the earphones? Make sure you show the earbuds and the cable with the lightning connector.
