Headphone sound quality extremely poor, why?

Had dust in the head phone socket, cleared this out and now the sound is extremely poor quality. Is the socket damaged beyond repair?

I've tried that, and numerous headphones in the iphone. It's definitely the phone.
Thanks anyway

  • Poor headphone sound quality w/ bluetooth

    I connected my Motorola S805 headphones using bluetooth in my Mac but the sound quality is pretty bad (yes I am using the Headphone setting and not Headset)...there is a low hissing sound, the quality of sound is extremely poor (the headphones themselves have excellent sound quality when attaching them to my Ipod jabra connector) and they cut in and out constantly. Is this because my keyboard and mighty mouse are connected using bluetooth as well? Is there some sort of bandwith limitation? Any new drivers I need to know about. This is ridiculous......

    I am bumping this post because I want to set up a wireless bluetooth workstation for my MBP- keyboard, mouse and headphones. I don't hear a lot of people talking about this type of setup. I would primarily be using the setup for gaming.
    Did you get your headphones to work properly?

  • Sky Go sound quality is poor

    Sky Go sound quality is poor, hollow and reverb like, and happens with 'on demand', 'on now' and I assume also 'downloads'. Sky Go is a great concept and feature, but this sound issue significantly reduces your enjoyment and deters you from using it. Other broadcaster apps work fine for me, When will this Sky one be fixed?

    just to clarify on Omicron's comment "Used Sky Go on my iPad 4 iOS 7  -  no sound problems; " - Do you actually mean no problems, but the sound quality is still poor? The point of this thread is to highlight the ongoing poor sound quality in Sky Go across all platforms, which many people on here suspect is due to overcompression. Could you confirm you are still having these issues, otherwise i am worried moderators may suspect the issue is fixed, which i can confirm from an episode of Blacklist on the train this morning is certainly not the case. Sound is still tinny, quiet and washed out on any downloaded porgram on iOS. Any news on if a fix for this is going to be in an update any time soon???  Omicron wrote:
    Hi, Further to my earlier response I have now done the following: Used Sky Go on my iPad 4 iOS 7  -  no sound problems; Streamed a short film from You Tube using my PC - no problems; Installed the BBC iPlayer on my PC and streamed Atlantis - no problem. So I'm reasonably confident that: The sound card on my PC is behaving itself; There is no problem with the original recording on the BBC; There i no problm with the Sky recording on my iPad. One possible conclusion is that Internet Explorer 11 version 11.0.9600.16384, and Google Chrome Version 30.0.1599.101 m working under Windows 8.1 64 bit are not fully compatible with Sky Go. Bob   

  • Improve/extend equalizer and add 3D sound. Sound quality really poor.

    I've been using the 2g nano for a while now and i must say the audio quality is really poor if compared with my 3 year old iRiver (which only has 256mb memory). Lots of people keep saying how great the sound quality is but i believe people saysing that just dont know any better. For those who do hear the difference the only satisfaction is the storage capacity.
    The Equalizer is a big shock. People (even Apple fans) say its best to leave it off for improvement. Why ? because turned on the music gets heavily distorted. People even blame their earbuds. So people go off and buy a €40 earbud just for that extra bit of improvement which the nano should already provide with the nano itself.
    So this is what should be done :
    - improve overall sound quality
    - add custom equalizer
    - add Xtreme 3D sound (= is a really big ++ iRiver users understand)

  • N96 to n86 headphone sound quality

  • New headphone sound quality?

    Just curious if anyone can comment on the new headphones? 18-month design? they better represent better sound quality if it took them that long.
    so how is the new sound quality?

    The supplied ear buds are terrible.
    They sound bad & buzz at high volumes.
    If you really care about getting the best out of your ipod, then spend a little bit of cash on some decent Sennheiser mx5oo or px100's.

  • HELP!  The Sound Quality is poor on my IPOD

    I just purchased an I POD 30G - Have downloaded songs directly from my CD collection... they sound great, except for those scratched CD's... My issue however is with other songs I had on my computer previously from other downloaded sites. Some play very loud and others play very soft and low... there is no consistency & its getting frustrating... I looked on this site for some help, but did not find anything concrete... is there a way to have all my songs on the IPOD play at the same sound quality/level? without having to go into each song & manually manipulate it? Please help....

    I tried this already based on some of my previous
    research... Once I clicked on it... it seemed to go
    through all my songs and re-adjust them... but it did
    not work...
    iTunes scans for volume automatically whenever you import songs, regardless of the 'Sound Check' setting. You also need to set 'Sound Check' on your iPod.

  • Sound quality is poor

    hi there,
    I have an ipod touch 4th generation which has started to sound 'tinniy' when I play any music from my itunes/music files.
    The gaurentee is up so no help from Apple. Has anyone else had this problem and any thoughts on how to fix it.
    I see that I could do a full re-set but I understand that you lose all the apps etc.
    help please.

    hi
    I always wondered if there was somewhere on the ipod where I could set my own EQ level. I reckoned that would sort it...so having looked around I have found it in Settings/Music/EQ/ and I 'think' I have resolved the issue.
    The 'tinny' sound seems to have gone..so we shall see what happens.
    Thanks for the option though. I might have to try this if my idea doesn't work.
    thanks.

  • Headphone Sound Quality

    Macbook Pro Headpone output support 24bit 192KHz music  ? When I play HD Audio CD in macbook pro. 

    192KHz is far, far above the frequency range that human ears can hear (20Hz-20KHz, though the high end falls off to 10-14KHz as we age).

  • Poor sound quality and distortion

    Ever since getting my 27" Imac I've notice the sound quality is poor and bass sounds distort quite a bit and it happens with the computer's speaker, headphones, and streamed audio over the network.
    Any ideas on what might be causing this? Sound card or itunes?
    Thanks,
    Terry

    Sounds like an audio circuit issue on your logic board--especially if it does it using headphones too. That almost eliminated the speakers. I would contact Apple and get it looked at.

  • Not the Average "sound quality" post

    I import using Apple losless converter. I am aware of the general manufacturing specs that allow my speakers to sound like Rice Crispies, (which is generally lame.) This being said, I move forward to my point.
    All of my low end frequencies distort, but NOT just through my speakers. It is extremely noticable even when using high grade head phones, so what's the deal here? I get the same distortion but to a lesser degree when I export to my Ipod nano, using high end head phones, which do not distort, on the nano as well. I have a 60 gb Ipod video which is formated for windows that has the same CD's imported at the same time (i.e. ruling out disc failure) which does not suffer sound degradation. Please help!

    i've been looking for similar problem which i have...
    i just updated Itune7.2 to Itune7.3 and all music files has been ****** up in my itune library....
    then i installed 7.2 but still my music files are ******...
    its sounds like can't handle bassline... which has nearly dying.. very quiet.
    and high quality sound is a bit distorted. and try to play around 192kpbs-320kpbs... only bassline or low sound can't handle to catch up with high sounds.
    but i found out that all happening was.. when i used my headphone sounds quality was ****. and i switched speaker (after i read this post ) it sounds all right ... and i put my headphone is back... its all sorted.
    how weird! it might need a time to settle down for iTune7.2
    or something problem with plug-in settings in mac.
    *headphone - audiotech ATH-Pro6(its getting old but still works well )
    *speakers - logitechZ3( good work )
    i think somehow something effected to on your itune library.
    have you upgraded your iTune recently ? stay in 7.2 if you can.
    and try to plug in/out with your headphone jack or speaker jack.
    to let to know your mac.and restart as well.
    there is some people has problem about iTune library after upgrade to 7.3
    not complaine about sound quality but still something going on in iTune library.
    i wanna listen to good quality sound with my lovely headphones.

  • Having trouble with sound quality

    I have had this iPod Touch 2nd Generation for almost 2 years now, and I'm starting to have some troubles with it. The headphone sound quality is now starting to deteriorate. Unless the headphones are plugged in a specific way, either one bud goes out, or the sound quality goes down, as there is a lot of static and crackling, and I've had experiences with it actually shocking my ears while I'm listening.
    I have tried a new pair of headphones, and this does nothing.
    My iPod is obviously beyond the manufacturer's warranty, and it's up-to-date with the latest update. Is there anything I can do?

    Sounds like your headphone jack may need replacing.

  • Why the extremely poor sound quality in playback with itunes?

    I am having problems with the sound quality of itunes music. this applies to both downloads and cd's. This problem is new, I believe, and affects bluetooth speaker, earphones, and macbook pro internal speaker. All have extremely poor playback with itunes. This Problem does not happen with playback of youtube videos.
    Thanks for any advice you can give.

    I would be worth playing some tracks with Quicktime so see what the quality is like there.
    iTunes uses Quicktime to play music.

  • Very poor sound quality on bluetooth headphones through HP Envy 700-074 desktop

    I recently purchased a pair of Bose AE2W wireless bluetooth headphones to use with my HP Envy 700-074 desktop computer. After successfully pairing the headphones the sound quality is extremely poor. I know the headphones are not the pronblem since they sound beautiful when paired with my iPhone or iPad.
    I have tried updating the driver, but I have the most current version installed according to the computer. Adjustment of the Beats Audio controls or any other sound controls does not help.
