Headphone Jack seems loose.

I just got my Ipod nano, and maybe its just me - but the headphones dont fit very snugly into the jack. A tiny tug pulls them out, which is a pain when putting it in my pocket or etc. Is this normal, or am I just paranoid?

DOH! Didn't apply enough pressure, they snapped right in. MUCH better.

  • Headphone jack very loose

    I received an iPod nano 3G for Christmas this year and the first thing I noticed about the little guy is that the headphone jack was so loose that the headphones would fall out anytime I moved the iPod. I returned the iPod and exchanged it for another and this new one is a little better but not a really tight fit. I recently tried a different pair of headphones because the Apple-included headphones don't really stay in my ears and the new headphones now have the same problem with my new iPod. So right now I'm on my second iPod and I can't understand why the headphone jack is so loose. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Nevermind the headphone jack being loose. Apparently I hadn't pushed the headphone plug far enough into the jack to fully seat it. I hate it when I realize I've been a dork. Chalk this one up to being an iPod noob.

  • My headphone jack seems o have a short can only hear on side in my earbuds

    My i-pod 5th gen seems to have a short it the headphone jack. I can hear one side fine but the other side has much lower volume. I can "jiggle the jack" and sometimes this will help, Anyone know how or where to get this fixed??

    That's usually a very good indication that the headphone jack is damaged and in need or replacement.  You can choose to have Apple exchange the iPod for a flat price or send it to a third party repair company to have them actually swap out the headphone jack for a little one at a lower cost.

  • Headphone jack parts loose/broken

    Over the past few weeks I've noticed that the inside part of my iMac's headphone jack has started to become loose, causing my headphones to not be able to be plugged up correctly without having to put a large amount of pressure on it over and over again, which may just be making the problem worse in the long run. I decided to ask here before taking it in for help so anything will be appreciated.

    what did your local genius bar say when you telephoned them?

  • Gen7 nano headphone jack is loose, moving headphone plug stops music

    When I move the headphone plug that is fully seated in the headphone jack on the nano it will stop playing the music like I pulled out the headphone plug. I have tried three  different apple headphones and can replicate the issue by moving the plug.  Using the same headphones in an older iPod will work fine when moving the plug.  I believe there is an issue inside the nano and would like to be able to send this in, would this be possible?

    Yes. But before you do get a flashlight and see if there is dirt/debris/obstruction in the jack and clear it if necessary.

  • Headphone jack plug loose

    When i plug in headphones, or a simple audio cable, sound works fine.  My concern is that whenever pressure is applied to the jack that is plugged in, the sound skips out.  There is a physical problem with the connection, that happens regardless of the standard 3.5 mm cable i use.   This only happens at certain angles of slight applied pressure.  The part is loose. The laptop is brand new, and I assume this is a physical defect.  I got the laptop quite recently and wanted to know what I need to do to get this issue fixed.  How can I find out if my laptop is currently under warranty?  I'm frustrated at this problem, especially because of how new this laptop is.  Please let me know what I need to do to get this fixed!  Is there a screw inside that needs to be tightened, or would this defect require experienced hands to fix.

  • Is a loose headphone jack normal?

    I just got a nano 3G for my birthday, but the headphone jack seems loose. The headphones seem to wiggle in the jack and easily fall out. If I'm running, it sometimes stops mid-song because of the jiggle. Is this a result of the design (jack being on a curved surface), or should I exchange it for a new one? It does this with all the headphones I've tried, and I want to know if anyone else has encountered this issue or if mine is defective......

    I took the nano back to the store tonight, and the counter tech guy couldn't click it in properly either. It just wiggled in the jack, and he claimed that he'd never seen this problem before. They exchanged it for an identical new one, and now Katie is a happy girl! Thanks!

  • Nokia X6 loose headphone jack

    I just bought a Nokia X6 the other day off dell, and so far im liking the phone. My only concern is that the headphone jack seems to be a little loose, as none of my headphones ive tried stay put very well. The slightest tug seems to pull the headphones out and are especially annoying when im listening to music. I was wondering if this is a common defect or not, and if there is anyway to fix it?

    I too suffer from the same issue....
    i have had the phone replaced.... 2 times in 2 weeks and still its the same...
    i get the usual support questions from my mobile provider, one guy sent me new headphones which means he clearly didnt understand.
    the issue...
    the 'block' on top of the phone that houses the charger and 3.5mm H/phone jack is extremely loose when they're connected... its not the jack itself, its the 'block' thats moving.
    if you gently squeeze the phone with your thumb and index finger covering the ear piece the 'block' barely moves.
    leads me to the conclusion that 1 of 2 things is happening.. either the design is flawed or the manufacturing of the phone was rushed or poorly quality checked.
    nokia i leave this with you to investigate.
    i'm heading to the shop now to get my 3rd one.

  • Headphone Jack Appears to Be Loose

    It appears that my headphone jack is loose and this is causing me to hear static through my headphones whenever I play music. Should I call Apple and get this fixed? Am I still under warranty? I bought my iPod on 12/29/06. I actually still have the receipt to prove it. What should I do?

    your warranty is good for a year, so you are fine. I would call Apple.

  • Headphone Jack Question

    Hi guys,
    My headphone jack came loose and snapped, I have a replacement one coming but one of the two small screws that holds the headphone jack in place is missing. Does anyone know what type of screw that I need to replace and where I could find one? Would going to the Genius Bar help me? (I'm out of warranty).
    Thanks!

    My ipod battery seems to short out through the headphone jack unit---if the wire/
    exterior post of the headphones gets jostled while the unit is playing, it stops and then displays the screen announcing that the battery is dead and the unit needs charging. This happens even though the unit has been used only 15 minutes since the last time it was charged. I can't figure out how the battery and headphone jack would be hooked up such that the two would interact in this manner.
    This has happened frequently enough and with numerous headphones (apples, sony, GE, as well as a few others). I have also heard that using non apple headphones are deleterious to the jack. Yet, apple headphones hurt my petite style earholes (ha). Is this true?s

  • Noise through MBP Headphone Jack

    When I boost the gain through an outboard audio interface (Digidesign 003), the headphone jack seems to be outputting a bit of noise. The noise changes as the MBP is processes (sounds like the noise fluctuates with the hard drive movement).
    Is this normal?

    I'm curious - 'boost the gain' - do you mean the input gain on one of the mic preamps? 'headphone jack' - do you mean the headphone jack on the Mac?
    Do you have a reason to use the Mac's headphone jack while using the Digi 003?

  • Will they repair the headphone jack on a 5th gen that is way past warranty

    my headphone jack is loose and/or broken it only plays through the headphones albeit intermittently when pushed to one side or the other. I was wondering if this can be taken care of at a genius bar at a relatively low cost?

    Don't know if they will do it there, but you can do it yourself.  Mine did exactly the same thing about a year ago, and I replaced the jack without too much trouble.  I think I found a replacement on Amazon for about $4.00 (plus shipping).  It's a little more involved than replacing the battery (while you're at it, might as well do that too), but definitely within most people's capabilities.  I think there are videos on youtube showing the procedure.
    Try these guys.

  • Problem in Headphone Jack

    My headphone jack seems broken. It does not recognize the plugging of the headphones and the music on the go feature only lasts for a secord after the start actions, and in order for the phone to recognize the headphone, i must apply more pressure to the headphones to the jack and after I let go of the pressure, the phone does not recognize the headphones anymore. Please respond and thank you very much

  • Creative Zen Micro 4GB - Headphone jack & transferring probl

    I haven't updated my firmware since I got the player in May (out of the box firmware update? Go away).
    My headphone jack is loose. I'll often only have music in one ear, especially if I'm walking or sitting down and have the player in my pocket or bag. I've started carrying my discman because I don't like pulling out my $300 mp3 player every couple of minutes. Is that the infamous solder problem?
    Also, my computer no longer recognizes the player. My sister had the problem a little while ago (same player, newer firmware because she got hers a month ago), and we reinstalled the drivers and everything is cool. Mine still doesn't work.

    Sounds like it.

    What firmware do you have on your player?
    Have you run a disk cleanup from rescue mode?
    When you connect the player is it listed in Device Manager?

  • Loose Connection Headphone Jack MacBook

    I was having difficulty with 3 pairs of headphones that I own. Upon insertion into the MacBook aluminum headphone jack, I would only get a very loose connection. A slight wiggle would disconnect headphone sound and revert to internal speakers.
    I went to the Apple store today in Toronto, and tested a few of their units on display. Same thing I even tested using the headphones sold at the store (BOSE noise canceling - $249.00). Same problem. Just pulling out ever so slightly, ruined the connection...
    Anyone else had this problem?? I'm totally surprised there's not more about this out there...

    I reported the problem within two weeks of receiving the first macbook and then within a week of receiving the second - apple has a period of "remorse" whereby if you decide you are not happy with your purchase you can return it less a restocking fee - in my case, since it was a clear failing of the machine, they waived the restocking fee and gave me a full refund
    I should add that I bought mine from the online apple store - the support and sales staff were very helpful - the video that I put online made it crystal clear what the problem was
    before deciding whether to take a third macbook or the full refund I asked them to check with the technical department whether this was a known issue (it wasn't) and I also made a trip to a local reseller to see if I'd just had bad luck or it was a widespread problem (all the unibody macbooks and macbook pros exhibited the same behaviour)
    I had been waiting to upgrade to a smaller form macbook that I had long hoped for. The release of the unibody macbook seemed initially to be the answer to these hopes - albeit with no firewire and a poorer quality screen than I expected. I decided I could live with these shortcomings but the macbook as it stands is unusable for me due to this headphone socket issue. Rather than wait for a fix to this unrecognised issue I decided to buy a previous revision macbook pro. Better a last revision mac product than a first revision - pity because otherwise the new macbook was great.
