Help LG G5 headphone issue

Android LG G5 Question

Guest
When my headphones move the slightest the music will pause or skip songs. It happens while using the normal music app and while using spotify. It will also open the google voices search because of it please help. Thanks
 
I'm going to take a guess that either the metal contacts inside the earbud jack in your G5 and/or the plug on the end of your earbuds need to be cleaned. To get a better visual, this Wikipedia page shows you how the metal contacts on the end of plug contact the metal contacts inside a typical jack:

Try getting a spray can of contact cleaner. Places like Fry's and hardware stores carry them, along with Amazon and other online retailers. Just a small, steady squirt per application is all that's needed, less is more with this stuff.
