In-Ear Headphones...but which ear?

So i finally got myself some Apple In-ear headphones. But one odd thing i noticed. When first opening the packaging, the left earbud is on the right side of the carry case.
Does this mean that the left earbud caps are on the left side, or on the left side of the carry case??

Any in-ear headphones with a 3.5 mm stereo jack are iPod compatible.

  • I recently bought iPhone 4 bumper, but I also think of buying InCase Reflex On-Ear headphones. Will its jack fit through the bumper?

    I bought the iPhone 4 Bumper about two days ago, and I tried it with every jack at home I could find. None of them fits through the hole, at least the curved ones. I think of buying an Incase Reflex On-Ear Headphone, but I doubt if the jack will fit. If there are any users, can anyone give some tips?

    It is not worth the time and money that will be involved repairing it piece by piece, other parts are going to start to fail due to the water incursion. Water and electricity do not mix and it needs to be completely dry prior to trying to apply power to it.
    Do an out-of-warranty replacement instead at your closest Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment before you go) for $149 USD.

  • Did you know about iphone in ear headphone Two drivers in each earpiece ?

    i just wanna prepare to buy a new iphone in ear headphone
    Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic
      £65.00
    is so expensive but some youtube user said it is prefect for sound quality so what is your opinion ?

    No I have my own iPhone iPad and MacBook  so everything is set up on devices that are mine and as far as I know I never connected to anyone else's device and logged with my apple ID.  But are you saying it is possible for someone to have obtained my apple ID and send an iMessage from their device with my contact information so it looks like it came directly from me?  It's crazy I looked down at my iPhone and saw this message had just been sent that I did not type or send

  • New in-ear headphone NOT COMPATIBLE with RADIO remote!!!

    I bought some days ago on the apple store the new in-ear headphone but it seems that are not compatible with radio remote control.
    Infact if I connect them, the volume is very very very low. The volume is correct only if I take out just a bit the jack from the radio remote or if the central button of the "in-ear headphone" is hold down pressed.
    Do you know something about this problem? Because these headphones are NOT very cheap and nothing is indicated on the apple store.
    Thanks!!!

    According to the description, it is supposed to work as normal earbuds when connected to older iPod models. So it seems like it should work that way with a Radio Remote. You said it works properly if it is not pushed in all the way? Maybe the one you have has a minor defect. If you bought it online, you may want to call the customer service number at shown at the upper left corner of the online Apple Store web page and see what they can do about it.

  • Do third party replacement tips fit on the apple in ear headphones? I prefer foam tips as they block out much more sound, but I'm not sure if Apple use the standard fitting for headphone tips!?!?!?!

    Do third party replacement tips fit on the apple in ear headphones? I prefer foam tips as they block out much more sound, but I'm not sure if Apple use the standard fitting for headphone tips!?!?!?!

    Answer found. Please find below an amazon review explicitly mentioning adding third party foam tips. Sounds like they fit and work like a dream:
    "As a audio engineer, I own about a dozen different sets of earphones and in-ear 'phones. My favorite, by far, are my sure SE530s. I have some Sennheiser cx400s which are good workhorses, but lack the finesse, clarity and stunning accuracy of the Shures. For convenience, I bought the Apple's, as I wanted something I could use with the phone for calls.
    I found the sound to be quite clear and beautifully clean, but like many, no matter how I tried, the stock Apple tips never made a good seal. The seal is absolutely essential to getting bass out of a balanced armature design. For you non-engineers, just trust me that if you don't have a proper seal, you will have no bass.
    In my case, I think the trouble had to do with the largest size being a tiny bit too small, and the silicon being too rigid, yet slick, so they left small airgaps and were easy to remove. I tried using some foam tips from a third party, but their large was more of a medium, and never came close to a snug fit.
    As an experiment, I dug around in my ear-tips from my Shure's and tried their rubber tips which are about the same size as Apple's large tips, but made of a more pliant and slightly sticky rubber.
    OMG, what a transformation. Suddenly the sound blossomed, the bass became rich and well balanced, and the "top-heavy" sound was totally mellowed into a rich, well balanced and incredibly detailed presentation.
    Make no mistake, these are the best 'phones under $200 I have ever heard. The bass is deep and warm, very detailed, and totally lacking fuzz or buzz that I can hear in the Sennheiser set. Look at getting tips from a better headphone. The trick is it has to have a soft rubber base that can expand over Apple's slightly larger stub. Some tips, like the Shure foam tips, have a rigid plastic sleave in the tip to keep it's position correct, and these won't expand over the larger Apple posts."

  • I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic. Now what do It do?

    I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic.
    In case you don't see why this could be a big deal, let me remind you that these little earphones will run you $79 new. Naturally, I'm sure there's got to be a reasonable solution that another owner of these headphones may know of or can share with me.
    Should I bring it to the Apple store or will they just laugh at me?
    Basically, all I'm missing is the jelly-like in-ear bud on one side (which is easily replaceable; I just need to know where I can order GENUINE extras from).
    Click here to see the Apple In-ear Headphones I'm referring to.

    I've tried several and the best by far is the Sennheiser MM50 iP ($99 at the apple store). The sound is incredible, particularly the low frequecy response (bass). These are even better than the Bose Triports I used for my iPod, plus they have the mic and button for recieving calls and ipod playback. I also have the airdrives, which don't even compare for sound quality and range because they aren't in-ear (they sit directly in front of the ear canal). I still use the airdrives in situations where I want music distraction but still want to hear what's happening around me, but for in-ear sound quality and iPhone functionality I don't think you're going to find better for the Sennheisers for under $100. In fact I don't think their is anything under $250 right now that would match it for performance, comfort and functionality.
    Note: these are asymmetrical which means the cord for the right earbud goes behind your neck to the right ear. I found this strange at first but now I actually like it because it allows you to pull the earlplugs out and just let them rest over your neck/shoulders.

  • Apple in-ear headphones do not work with iPhone5

    I have some Apple branch in-ear headphones, which do not fully function with my new iPhone5. I had the iPhone4, and they worked flawlessly with that, but now they are just plain old headphones, none of the click functions work. Is this a bug?

    FYI, this resolved itself. I think the connection in the iPhone needed to have some coating or something removed. Inserting and removing the headphone connector a bunch of times, and then it started working.

  • In-Ear Headphones Replacement?

    Ok, I received a pair of Apple's iPod In-Ear Headphones for Christmas last year and now the sound in the right earbud has decided to essentially quit. I've wiggled the cord and squeezed the earbud and checked the balance in all of the relevant preference panes, but I've gotten to the point where I've given up on these headphones every working correctly again.
    I'm wondering how I can get them replaced / fixed online. I bought my iPod in 2001 so it's way out of warranty, but the headphone are not. I've been to that iPod Service page (http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod), but I can't find a serial number on my headphones or in any of its documentation (and I can't use my iPod's serial number).
    Can anyone help me out?

    I finally got my headphones replaced by Apple. I was on the phone with them for 3 days getting bounced between departments over and over again. The wait times made the process horrible.
    The reason I had so much trouble, or so I was told, was that because the headphones don't have a serial number on them it's hard for them to just enter the stuff into their computers and automate the process. I was also told that no one had ever tried to get theirs replaced. Some of the people I talked to had no idea that Apple sold headphones independent from the iPod (and they kept asking me for my iPod serial number - which they don't need). Then I was told that my product didn't come with a warranty.
    I eventually talked to a lady in the Disbursments office (I think), explaind my problem and what a horrible time I had had with the customer support process. She finally helped me. She asked me to fax her the front page of the warranty booklet and then she sent me a new pair of headphones (but not a brand new box, just the headphones inside the plastic container with the additional earbuds - you should make clear that these are the In-Ear headphones with addition earbuds.) Because of the terrible time I'd had she didn't require me to send back the defective headphones.
    When they ask for an iPod serial number you should be extremely clear that you ARE in the right department (do not let them transfer you) and that they know exactly which product you are talking about. When they tell you they can't help you in that department, and that another department can help you, they're wrong. Sales and all those other departments can not help you.
    I guess the easiest thing to do when they try to transfer you is to demad a supervisor. I'm glad I got my replacement headphones, but it was hard to do.
    I hope this helps.

  • Don't enjoy the included earbuds? Try the Apple in-ear headphones...

    Hi everyone!
    I thought I'd provide some feedback after enjoying the new shuffle for the past couple of days.
    I've cast aside the included earbuds in favor of Apple's in-ear headphones. For those that may not yet know, these have the same controls as the included set and are absolutely 100% compatible with the new shuffle. The only difference is that there's also a microphone embedded in the remote but this is simply redundant as far as the shuffle goes (it comes into play with the iPhone, iPod touch and the 4th gen Nano).
    The benefit that I've discovered to using the in-ear phones with the shuffle are:
    1) You still retain full control over all the functions. At the time of this writing, this is the only alternative set of phones that can do this!
    2) They do not fall out while jogging, working out, etc. if this is a problem for you with the existing set.
    3) The sound is incredibly detailed and thus you can take complete advantage of one of the main features of the new shuffle - the ability to use lossless tracks. These phones can easily deliver all the extra detail that's available by opting to use lossless tracks. While I admire the ability to re-encode your music to 128k/AAC on the fly for use with the shuffle plus the fact that compression technology is very good for what it is, to my ears lossless is enormously superior to 128k, and I prefer to have 10 albums at amazing quality than 50 albums at so-so quality.
    4) Sound isolation is superior, so outdoor listening isn't a problem. I've also tested these on a recent flight, and I found that they hold up extremely well - so much so that I no longer use my active noise cancelling headphones.
    So basically, I've discovered that the new shuffle paired with the in-ear phones make a formidable combination. If you are not satisfied with the included phones but still want full control over your shuffle...consider them recommended.
    I don't work for Apple - just an enthusiastic customer wishing to share his experiences and help others who may be looking for a solution.

    Although the price of the in-ears is as much as the shuffle itself, the advantage of purchasing them is that you can also use them with an iPhone, iPod Nano, Touch, etc as well which makes them a much better value.
    I think that it's good to have more just the shuffle as sometimes it's good to watch video or have more precise control over your track selection.

  • Suggestions for ear/headphones

    I just got my Nano and the Nike + system. The one problem I am having is with the ear buds that came with the Nano. No matter what I try, they keep falling out. Any suggestions for ear phones or headphones that work well for a runner?
    Thanks!

    I have tried several different brands, all earbud style:
    Sennheiser OMX-70 -- these do not fit my ear. The neck from the speaker to the outside piece is short and thick and so the headphones constantly pop out. I bought a podfitkit, which creates a mold around them to hold them in. It helps, but its difficult to get them in my ear with the mold. Plus, they are bright green, not my favorite color.
    Shure e2c -- these are great sounding headphones, but I had trouble keeping them in after I started sweating. Plus, the cord is heavy, so you really need to use a clip with them.
    Skullcandy smokin' ear buds -- these sound the best (to me, even better than the Shure e2c's). Lot's of bass without sacrificing quality for the higher frequencies. Very light, but are in canal models and thus can be difficult to keep in when sweating. Also, I don't like the cord. It is shorter for one ear. I prefer an even length cord. There is a merchant on EBay that sells them with Etymotic ear inserts. Have read other reviews that say this improves the sound quality and how well they stay in your ear.
    Philips MP3-CD with flexible ear hook -- these don't have the best sound, but they stay in my ear better than any others. Indoors, the sound quality is pretty good. But, they are designed with a bass port which creates a lot of wind noise when running outside. Have never had one fall out. Probably my favorite for use while running, but not otherwise. Walgreen's has them for less than $10.

  • 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

  • Muvo N200 - In-ear Headphone Recommendati

    I li've in the UK (Edinburgh) and I've just purchased a Muvo N200 GB and am extremely pleased with it. However, the supplied headphones are not particulalry good and I find the volume level is pretty low. I did ensure that I downloaded the non-European firmware as per advice on this forum. Can anyone recommend a pair of good quality 'in ear' headphones which would help with the volume levels?

    I like using the N200 with Sennheiser MX400 earbuds. The MX400 is only around $3 and has great sound. It has plenty of bass and is very efficient. The new Sennheiser MX550 is even more efficient(louder maximum volume with your player), but is supposed to be brighter and have a bit less bass than the MX400 or MX500. The Sony EX5 or EX7 only have an efficiency of 00 db/mw, while the MX550 has an efficiency of 23 db/mw, a huge difference.
