Headphone jack does not fit in iPhone socket

My brand new pair of Bose MIE2 headphones don't fit in the iPhone socket.
This is the original iPhone with the recessed socket.
I purchased these headphones because my old pair of Bose headphones stopped working. They used to be pretty good headphones, and fit perfectly into the iPhone socket. This new model, which is supposed to be for mobile phones, doesn't fit.
I can't return the headphones to the store, as they do not have a return policy. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how I could get them to fit into the iPhone?
If I apply a lot of pressure, then the rubber warps a little, and it goes in, and I can hear audio perfectly, but the moment I release the pressure, the audio dissappears as the jack comes out of the socket.

OK,,, I guess I will have to try,, but the way the hole is structured, I am afraid to push too hard, and perhaps have the plastic around the metal rim crack the top of the unit from the stress. Is this a one and only time I have to go through, because I have given it a more than ample push,, and if I have to experience that every time.. I had better go to the Genius bar to find out if I can get one with a more forgiving insert. I will also go to the Rogers store and see if I get the same experience on their demo

  • Brand new 3GS Headphone jack does not fit in the jack hole , anyone else?

    I just bought 32gb white 3GS 1 1/2 weeks ago, and I just went into the box to try my earphones for
    the first time. I thought I was dreaming,, but I could not get the jack to fit in the hole Even slightly forcing it didn't help. I didn't want to go crazy on pushing it. I decided to take my light case of the phone, just to make sure that the case wasn't getting in the way.. It only goes down about 3/4 way down the hole. I turned on some music,, but obviously the jack is not down enough to make the connection. Has anyone else had this problem? It just doesn't seem to want to fit, and yet it is the brand new one that came with the phone.

  • Headphone Jack does not fit into my new Sansa Clip +

    Hi, I just bought a new Sansa Clip + so I could listen to my songs while on vacation, but when I put in my headphones 3.5 jack plug into the hole on the side of the mp3 player it  won't go all the way in and falls out if I dont hold it properly. Is that how a Sansa Clip + is ? because I found it very annoying.  I hope that someone can reply fast because I will be on vacation in about a week. And sorry for my english because it is not my native language.

    When the player is new the jack is very tight, and it takes a bit of force to get the plug in completely.  

  • My ipad2 headphone jack does not work

    Has anyone had a problem with iPad 2 headphone jack? The jack does not work at all and the sound still comes out of the built in speaker. And yes, it is fully pushed in.

    If you are convinced that there is nothing wrong with the headphones (you could try another set of headphones, ear buds whatever) and that you are pushing the headphones in firmly enough - check to make sure that nothing is impeding the connection between the jack and the opening on the iPad - dirt, debris ....
    You could also reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.

  • Dell laptop headphone jack does not work when playing audio and video in Firefox 27

    My problem is similar to the one posted in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/986978?esab=a&s=laptop+headphones+don%27t+work+with+firefox&r=2&fpa=1&as=s
    I believe it has little to nothing to do with extensions.
    I have just installed Firefox 27 on the Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop of a friend. She is an unsophisticated user who has a computer for email, simple web browsing, and watching YouTube and other online videos. Because she frequently seems to end up with junk on her machine, I wanted to switch her over to Firefox so I could install ad and script blockers that would hopefully slow down the frequency of adware and malware roosting in her system.
    The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3520 with an Intel celeron CPU (64-bit), running Windows 8. There are standard end-user applications installed (Adobe Reader, VLC Media Player, etc.), but no tweaking utilities, etc. The audio drivers are Cirrus Logic High Definition Audio.
    I've been troubleshooting the laptop today trying to track down why the integrated speakers continue to work when the headphones are plugged in, with no sound coming through the headphones. Because I had run a series of virus / malware / adware scans just before installing Firefox, I thought I had mistakenly deleted some system audio files.
    It finally became clear after toggling multiple settings, playing with Windows and Dell sound settings, and experimenting, that the headphone audio jack still works as it should in the system itself (for example, playing videos through VLC Media Player) and in Internet Explorer. It is only in Firefox that plugging in the headphones does not send audio through the headphones nor cut out the integrated speakers.
    Sometimes there is a silencing of the integrated speakers for a few seconds, but then the audio kicks in again. (I am using YouTube and a certain movie streaming website to test the audio).
    However, if the headphones are plugged in before starting the videos, the sound comes through the headphones, but unplugging the headphones, then reinserting them, stimulates problem again. Not only that, but then in YouTube the video will stall and can't be restarted until the page is reloaded.
    Again, this is a fresh Firefox install of less than 24 hours, with only Adblock, Adblock Plus Pop-up Addition, Flashblock, and NoScript installed. There are no themes installed and most of the Options are the defaults that are set upon installation.
    I have both disabled the add-ons and uninstalled them entirely before testing the headphone funtionality. In both instances the problem persisted. I've also uninstalled and let Windows re-install the Cirrus audio drivers.
    Does anyone else have any insight into this problem, and any potential solutions other than "start in Safe Mode" and "reset Firefox"?

    Firefox can switch audio devices within ~ a + or - 10 minute period or so (Just a guess). At which point it latches onto the audio device and will never change until the entire process is shutdown (read last paragraph, there is an exception)
    Ive had this problem for a few months now, at least. And I switch back and forth from my sound system and my wireless USB headset.
    If anything will fix this i believe it would be disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the properties of your default audio device, but i doubt it. I think this is an issue regarding the code in firefox itself.
    I'd like to see this turned into a default feature, being able to disable and enable the ability to stay on whichever device was the default at the time of launch, or to always play on the current default device, even if its changed. That or being able to choose a specific device/devices (WOULD LOVE TO THIS).
    Other than that I dont really have a solution, and I kind of doubt anyone will unless its addressed in the next update.
    Oh I thought of one solution that doesnt require restarting firefox, disable the current audio device and the sound will automatically switch to the next available device. Or possibly when a new device is introduced?? I havent done much testing on the matter though. This is just my best guess based on my personal experience with firefox.

  • HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer.  The sound still comes from the speakers.  Any solutions?

    The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds.  The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone.  The port has never worked.  Any solutions?

    okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

    The MacBook has no fax-modem. You will need an external (USB) modem.

  • IPhone 5c does not fit in 5/5s in Apple Store docks

    iPhone 5c does not fit in 5/5s in Apple Store docks, it is too fat.
    Does this mean there has to be an entire new class of docks just for this model?

    So you base this on being at a completely different store the next week after the launch?
    Sorry I'm not buying that.
    Whilst my wife stood obediently in line I went to the front to observe just how few people were inside and observe the staff. I also spoke to those "managing" the line who deliberately kept things vague when I had already accertained what Apple was and was not offering by just talking to people coming out of the store.
    I also spoke to the cameraman and photographer Apple had engaged to "document" the "massive demand" for the new phones, to check they weren't from real news services.
    Yes it may be cynical but it is marketing and if you don't believe you are being manipulated either by Apple or those fiddling with "social media" you are ripe for the taking.
    I just wish Apple employed less people in marketing and more developing and refining products so they don't ship with annoying flaws. Not like they are either producing lots of new products let alone products that are actually ground breaking or that different lately. These were just tweaks, one to an inconsistent connector, with no other significant change than material and color.

  • Sennheiser earphone jack will not fit into iPad Air with protective case on

    i have sennheiser earphones and the jack will not fit into my iPad Air with the protective leather case on. The earphone jack is too large. Does anyone know if there is some kind of adaptor I can attach to the jack so it will fit?  Or perhaps know of another solution?

  • Hi; I updated my iTunes to the latest version (11.1.4.62), but it does not detect my iPhone 4s any more.

    Hi,
    I updated my iTunes to version 11.1.4.62, but it does not detect my iPhone 4s any more. I have tried the following ways but still did not work:
    Rebooted the computer
    Rebooted the iPhone
    plugged and unplugged the USB cable multiple times and to various USB ports
    Uninstalled and installed the i-Tunes
    Signed out the iTunes and signed in again
    my USB cable and ports are all ok
    my ios version on iPhone is : 7.4.4
    my laptop os is windows 8.1 and my processor is: Intel Core i7-3610QM @ 2.30 GHz
    I appreciate your help.

    I find this on another post and tried it.  It WORKED.  I had to modify to fit my situation but give it a try.  Good luck.
    Go to Windows 8.1 Control Panel.
    Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Device Manager; Portable Devices (look for Apple IPad)
    Right-click, then select properties on the menu list.
    Under the "Driver" tab menu, confirm the update driver button is not greyed out.  If the update driver button is grey and unselectable, you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner.
    Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button.
    Select "Update Driver".
    Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software".
    For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. 
    Click Next, and let the driver re-install.
    iTunes  11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already.

  • Movie does not fit preview window

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cannot figure it out.
    I made a short movie clip with my iPhone 5. Imported it into iMovie (it looks perfect when I preview it from the event library) and then dragged that clip to a new project. Then when I play the video from within the project, it has been heavily cropped, ie the movie does not fit in the preview window.
    I have tried changing the aspect ratio of the project and this made no difference. I also change the setting File > Project Properties > Initial Video Placement to Fit in Frame.
    Any help appreciated.

    A lot of people who shoot video on the iPhone will hold the phone vertically oriented (portrait orientation). For shooting movies, you will get the best results when you rotate the phone 90 degrees to landscape orientation.
    iMovie will always edit in landscape orientation (long side on top and bottom, short side on the sides) because this is the way TV screens work.
