Do these headphones have a mic? If for any reason it thinks they do when they don't that would be the result.
However, that requires either a faulty socket, a strange sort of short, a very strange software corruption or both pairs of headphones being broken in the same way. I think we can exclude the last. Did this just start, or was the phone always like this? If it just started, did anything happen before then that might be relevant (dropped, system update, has it ever got wet?)? And just to be sure, if you shine a torch into the socket can you see anything in there? If so be very careful trying to remove it, as you could easily do damage in the process.

While the ulefone u007 looks like a nice device, the prices I'm seeing are pretty low and indicates the mfg. probably cut a whole bunch of corners to keep costs down. I would think @Hadron is correct, that the phone thinks the headphones contain a mic and are muting the phones internal microphone. It's either a design flaw or a product defect.

Do you have it in a case? A lot of times a case will interfere with inserting the plug completely in the jack, which will cause problems exactly like this.

It is not a defect or design flaw, it is a feature (albeit a bad one) It assumes if you are plugging something into the jack that it has a mic built in, it is not actually checking for a mic being present. -Probably a cost-cutting measure. Purchase some headphones with a mic and the problem should be resolved.

If things like that were considered a "flaw" the iPhone would be a perfect example of a design flaw lol
