Looking for a headphones solution for 5th generation iPod

So my headphone jack no longer works (technical problem). As a result I need headphones that plug in via the dock connector instead.
A little over a year ago I bought (what I think was) a remote/headphones combo device that solved my problem. The remote plugged into the iPod, and then the headphones plugged into the remote. Problem solved.
I have now lost this device, and whenever I ask the Apple Store for something similar they have no idea what I'm talking about.
Any help in either identifying the device I had before or coming up with a new solution would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I'm ready to pull out my hair at the moment. I refuse to replace a $300 dollar piece of equipment just because I'm having trouble finding something that used to be on the market.

SpringFaery, you didn't say what specifically is wrong with the headphone jack, so I don't know if this will help you or not. I have a 5th generation iPod 30GB that just started having problems with the headphone jack. One of the earbuds was losing sound intermittently. I checked the headphones on other devices and they're fine. The same problem happens when I try other headphones on the iPod, so I assume the problem is the headphone jack.
I found another thread about sound problems with 5th generation iPods in this forum that said that pressing on one corner of the iPod fixes that problem, so I tried doing that on my iPod and it works fine now. I used a 2-inch binder clip and put it on the right side of the iPod, in the upper corner under the headphone jack. I have a leather cover on the iPod, so the binder clip is over that. The sound is back to normal now so I'm happy with this "usermod" fix. If your problem is similar maybe this can help.

  • Is there any way for me to get a 5th generation ipod touch 16gb with both cameras?

    i really wanna get an ipod touch 5th generation but i also want the forward and out facing cameras, and for me $200 is already kind of expensive for me, let alone $300, is there any way for me to get an ipod 5th gen without the extra $100?

    Like JEM24 said, Certified Refurbished is an Apple item which has been used but been checked over and (if necessary) repaired.
    Also, the iPod Touch 4th Generation is 3 years old and cannot get iOS 7 - meaning some apps can't run on it.
    Once again, here is the certified refurbished link: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod/ipod_touch
    Hope this helps!

  • Can you use a 80gb drive from a 5th generation ipod to replace a 30gb drive in a 5th generation ipod.  I have a drive in my old 80gb ipod  and want to switch into my new 30gb 5th generation ipod.

    Can you substitute the 30 for the 80gb drives in 5th generation ipod classics and visa versa?

    iPod Classic, iOS 5 ???
    Sigh!

  • Looking for a headphone solution editing surround

    Looking for a headphone solution when editing suround environment in Soundtrack Pro 2. I have a Mac Pro. Is there any phones that would connect (direct or indirect) to the optical audio output, or do I need to buy a 5:1 speaker sound system with headphone jack?

    Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
    Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
    The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
    This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
    Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

  • Recommend a headphones solution for me!

    I'm a new iPhone 3G owner and am looking for the cleanest, lowest profile, best quality, money-is-no-object, wireless/bluetooth headphone solution for purposes of listening to music in stereo. Suggestions?

    There is seriously no wireless solution for music on the iPhone?!??
    You can buy a stereo bluetooth headset that has an adaptor, I have one.
    The iPhone supports connecting to hands free car kits and headsets via bluetooth.

  • Looking for a nice solution for different cases with nearly same operations

    Hi everybody:
    I'm looking for a nice solution for the following problem:
    I'm measuring different data at the same time (with different devices).
    I would like to save these data all in one array (or cluster?), but I
    don't know exactly the way to do this. All values have corresponding
    time values. So for one data type it would result in a 2d array,
    wouldn't it? But how can I save different data types with their time
    values in one array? Or should I take a cluster? And how can I get only
    a certain type of data out of this array or cluster again? E.g. if I
    only need data type "3" with its time stamps for evaluation? I would
    really appreciate an example, I work with LV 7. Thanks!
    Then - for evaluation - I only need one data type of these different
    data. Which one I would like to choose via the frontpanel (it changes
    from test to test). So, I thought of a case structure (where I can
    choose which data type and correspondingly which evaluation way). The
    evaluation steps for the different data types are quite the same, but
    can vary in order of execution. I could write for every case the
    (nearly) same evaluation steps, but this would take a lot of time, plus
    if I need to change one step I need to change it in every case.
    Does anybody know a better way?
    Thank you very much in advance,
    Steffi

    In this example I have four arrays, which I would like to save alltogether in one file. First column should consists of time stamps, second column of value type 1, third column of value type 2, ... How can I solve this?
    Built the 4 1D arrays into a 2D array, the use write to spreadsheet file.

    And, after that, how can I display only the second coulmn (e.g.) and time stamps in a waveform chart from this file? Or how can I say in LabVIEW: "display the last 30 values of column three over the time in a waveform chart"?
    There is "array subset", which allows you to get any desired subset from an array. If yoyu want entire rows or colums, use "index array".
    To display the last 30 values in a chart, just feed the data to a chart with the history size set to 30 elements. The rest will fall into place.
    LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

  • When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch

    When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch?

    Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.

  • Update for 5th Generation ipod

    Will Apple be releasing an update for 5th Generation ipod users to upgrade to the Operating System of the ipod Classic?

    Yep, I can pretty much guarantee that Apple won't--even when Apple released the 5.5 Generation iPods they didn't give the original 5.0 generation iPods a search feature. And of course, neither the iPod touch nor iPhone have search for music either, which is rather odd...

  • My 5th generation iPod (bought in April of 2013) will quit unexpectedly. It will take for ever to load what I write while texting. It also just goes to the black screen with the Apple logo. I'm not sure what to do.

    My 5th generation iPod (bought in April of 2013) will quit unexpectedly. I can't do app store apps (like snapchat or facebook, ect.) or apple apps (like Camera, Safari, ect.)It will take for ever to load what I write while texting. It also just goes to the black screen with the Apple logo. I'm not sure what to do.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If no joy...
    Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
    If the issue persists...
