Bummer - Bose headphones don't seat in the earphone jack

Neither my noise canceling earphones or my good ear bud ones....
Somebody is going to make a bunch of $$ making an adaptor...

speed2fly,
There is an adapter available through the Apple Store online.

It is in the section for iPhone Cables and Docks.
Hope this helps,

  • Is the earphone jack REALLY standard?

    I have a Curve 8900 and I love everything about it except the earphone jack. When I first got it a few months ago, I didn't notice the problem because it works fine with the standard Blackberry earphone (3-ring). Then I tried plugging another standard 3.5" earphone (2-ring) and it wouldn't fit. I thought it was just a Blackberry quirk, but then I tried it with my sister's Curve 8900 and the 2-ring earphone fit just fine with hers.
    So I went to the mobile provider where I got the Blackberry from (StarHub in Singapore). The customer support person tried plugging a third-party earphone to a 8900 unit she had on stock and it wouldn't fit. She thought it was strange, but she didn't have another phone on stock so she asked me to wait. When I finally got a replacement unit, the earphone jack worked fine for exactly 1 day. Now I've tried three non-Blackberry earphones and none would fit (the standard Blackberry earphone still works). The phone has been in a rubber case and it wasn't dropped, bumped or anything.
    I went back again to StarHub. The customer service person tried my non-Blackberry earphone to a different 8900 phone on stock and it wouldn't fit. She concluded that the 8900 could only work with the standard Blackberry earphone that comes in the box and that she couldn't help me any further.
    So I've come across 4 out 5 Curve 8900 units that don't work with a non-Blackberry earphone. Is the earphone jack really a standard 3.5"?

  • Why does the earphone jack on the HPdv7 NOT work when on the notebook stand and using replicator?

    My Pavilion dv9815nr let me plug my earphones into the pc while it was on the desk extender or stand, and the sound of the speakers would be cut out -- which was especially a good idea late in the evening and helped keep peace in the family.  I liked this VISTA machine very much and was quite happy with it for not quite 3 years.  Unfortunately, the Optical drive gave out, or at least the BUS died and the techies recommended the purchase of a new machine since a repair was apparently expensive.  In order to stay closely to the concept of a full keyboard laptop using a notebook stand with wireless keyboard and mouse, I bought end March a Paviliion dv7 as a replacement machine.  Other than a series of minor mishaps, most of the problems were encountered with the peripherals and I am on a second wireless keyboard, mouse and replicator.  Also a number of odd occurrences related to audio were fixed by obtaining the proper drivers. but now I have encountered something that appears to be simply sloppy design.  When this laptop is in use on the notebook stand and linked to the replicator, the earphone jack on the left side of the PC is dead.  The jack works fine and cuts out the speakers when the USB lead for the replicator is removed.  There is a very impractical solution to the problem and that consists of plugging the earphone mini-plug into the jack located on the replicator.  Since the replicator has a niche location on the back of the notebook stand, this is not a very practical solution.  Any good ideas to get around this?

    I went through the installation where the bar shows the percentages downloaded and installed. Once it shows 100% it asks me to click Finish. I do. Then I go to yahoo to check and it continues to show that the plugin is missing and that I need to download Adobe Flash which I thought that I just did. Am I missing something in terms of installing??

  • What connector type is used to plug a guitar into the iPad?  Does it connect to the earphone jack?

    What connector type is used to plug a guitar into an iPad?  Does it connect to the earphone jack?

    Actually you can get something like this from your local mac store. http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irig/ It plugs right into the earphone jack and works fine (I own this model and it works well on the go). For my actual mac, I use a Monster iStudioLink, which I have heard will work with the iPad 2 (but with some bugs - see the comments on the Monster website) http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=2440

  • Is the earphone jack on the iPhone supposed to be slightly loose?

    Is the earphone jack on the iPhone supposed to be slightly loose?

    Probably not, but "loose" is probably subjective. Nitty gritty - if it works, it works, and you have no problem.

  • Bose headphones don't work with iPad1

    First my headphones didn't work at all, and after reading some tips, I used an adapter and now I hear something when I plug the headphones in but not everything, almost as if only one side of the headphones are working.   Any ideas on what else I can do?  I had read elsewhere about resetting the iPad but I'm not sure how to do that (or if it's even smart!)  Thanks.

    I'm not alert today.  I missed this comment.
    Is there a setting somewhere for closed captioning that possibly turns off the voice?  I'm not near my iPad right now and I'll be unavailable for at least a full week so I can't follow up myself.
    Johanathan - does the closed caption thought make sense?

  • Headphones don't fit as snug in jack as they used to

    I have a 2 year old 160gb classic. When I use my headphones, they seem to just slide in, and don't stay in very well. My iPhone 4S snaps the headphones in snug. Is this just an issue of age, or an issue ? Is there anything I can do, besides change the jack?

    Sorry guys, but this sounds to wierd - I'm listening to Pandora as I write this using $20 Sony earphones from WalMart. Or I can plug in my 3.5 jack which feeds into my amp & listen full-blown stereo. Not braggin or trying to make you jealous here - but I think I'd go to your dealer and demand some satisfaction. Good luck!

  • How do i find out if my one year warrenty will cover replacing the earphone jack?

    Nomatter what I do only one earphone works with all headphones, when i put the headphones in another device both works. My wanenty does not expire until next febuary, but i keep trying to look and see if it is covered but i cannot find it in the text. I don't have any money so I have to deal with it if apple does not cover, but i really want to listen to my music peacefully again. Please help me.

    Unless the problem was caused by abuse or other accidental damage, Apple will exchange your in-warranty iPod with a refurbished one at no cost. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store for the exchange.

  • Can i just have apple replace the earphone jack on my ipod classic 160gb; nothing else?

    I really don't want to spend $150 on replacing a 10-20 dollar part. I just want them to replace the part, nothing else.

    Apple doesn't actually repair iPod, but does an out of warranty exchange of it for a refurbished model of the same generation and capacity.
    So if you want just the headphone jack fixed, you'll need to find a third party iPod repair service. Google "iPod headphone jack repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • Is the mike output in the earphone jack also

    this is a notebook g62223cl and we want to use a single plug for skype hookup

    Ravi,
    In the FI form, I think the driver program assigned will be the RFF* series. If so, during execution, on your selection screen, plz see the number of printouts option. In that specify that as 1.
    Hope this helps.

  • Bose headphones with Lumia 520?

    I've just acquired a Lumia 520 and I'm getting to know and like it, but one disappointment has been that my Bose headphones have limited functionality with the 520.  These are earbud type headphones that have a control on the wire that lets me pause/restart what I'm listening to and change the volume. The same control also has a mike.  These worked great with my iPod Touch, but I find with the 520 that the pause function works, but the volume controls do not.  I haven't tried the mike yet.  Even the pause function has limited use, since if I pause for longer than 5 or 10 minutes, pressing the pause button again does not restart the audio - I have to pull the phone out, turn it on and press play, which eliminates one of the main advantages of these headphones.  Does anyone know if this is a limitation of the 520?  Is this kind of functionality not possible with the 520?  Are there other headphones that will do this?

    You will need to go test them or check a compatibility list via manufacturer if available, as i said i test mine in my local currys store for example where they have sample products to try in the store.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • In the help! The grip jack of my iMac does not work any more for this morning! How needs to make to repair it ? Please

    This morning, I wanted to listen to some music on my iMac via my earphones but the computer, did not get any more my earphones. Indeed, when I puts the sound, this one takes out outer loudspeakers and not my earphones. They are not posted in the preferences sound. I tried earphones on my mp3, they worked.
    You can help me to repair my grip jack. If they pleases you
    Sorry if you do not understand very well, I am French.
    Thank you!

    It sounds like the headphone jack on your iMac is having problems. One solution you might try is to insert and remove the earphones' jack several times. Sometimes this clears it up.
    If that doesn't work, you will probably need to have the iMac repaired. Is it under warranty or AppleCare? If so it should be covered at no charge. Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the iMac in to an Apple retail store or service provider. If you are outside of warranty they can give you an estimate for the cost.
    Best of luck.

  • TS4225 I have just shifted to iOS 7 but i believe i lost the audio output through the earphone terminal. How do I make it work again?

    How do I make it work again? I tried with the apple earphones provided and the stereo jack in my car, both didn't seem to work. The thing is, if functioning normally, after I insert the earphone jack in the terminal, the sound from the speaker should disappear and be rerouted to the earphones, this didn't happen.
    Shall I reset my iphone?

    it's not ios7 it's not software it's a hardware issue
    it's this

  • Bose in-ear headphones don't work with my macbook

    My Bose in-ear headphones don't work on my macbook. However, they are working just fine on the iphone and ipad. When I plug it in the laptop there is nothing showed in the sound preferences, just the internal speakers. It's like I insert a stick or something there's no response whatsoever!
    Anybody have a solution??
    Thanks

    it's likely a hardware issue most people experience that the detector which indicate if there is a headset plugged in are activated all the time making their phone silent but your issue is likely the opposite
    the cure if it exist would likely be the same as the stuck in headset mode
    iPhone stuck in "headphones" mode
    worst case would be repair
