Nano sounds terrible, music sounds like it's in a tunnel!

I loaded my entire I-Tunes library on my new nano, but the music sounds like it is in a tunnel. I have tried 4 different pairs of headphones and completely wiped it out and RE-loaded the library again, with the same results. I tried to change the EQ option, but nothing has helped. Any suggestions or should I go back to the Apple store to get a new one?

had the same problem...seems alot of people are...the headphones may appear to be all the way in but they aren't. i shoved them in and they work fine now

  • How do I adjust sound quality in itunes - sounds like the chipmonks in a tunnel

    I'm trying to listen to songs I purchased on itunes from my iPad/iPhone on my everyday PC - Compaq.  Never had a problem before!  Now all my music sounds like it's in a tunnel and Alvin of the Chipmonks is the lead singer in Alice in Chains !!  HELP I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING !!  Thank you

    You seem to be asking two separate questions here.
    1) Interfaces
    Interfaces start at around $30 and go into the thousands depoending on what you want to do, You need to define your needs first, then your budget
    Some example interfaces:

    2) How do I Mix and Master
    You'll need to read some books if you have no idea how to mix and/or Master.
    Mixing is making everythnig sound good together, and I have no idea how I could explain that other than to say "you change the levels of each track and add effects as desired, until you get thesound you want.
    Mastering is even harder to define, you'll really need to do some research (even online. There is PLENTY of info on the web).

  • When using Apple earphones, the phone sounds like I'm in a tunnel.

    I just got a new iPhone 4 and when I use the Apple earphones while talking on the phone, it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. This never happened with my 3GS. This doesn't happen when I am listening to music. Then it sounds fine. Any ideas on what is causing this?

  • Since I updated to IOS 8.1 yesterday my sound is garbled and sounds like it's in a tunnel. What can I do?

    Since I updated to IOS 8.1 yesterday my sound is garbled and sounds like it's in a tunnel. What can I do?

    That's because there is no supported way to downgrade the iOS. Further, discussion of such is prohibited here, by this forum's terms of use.
    You'll have to go elsewhere if you want to go down this route.

  • Help!  Music on Nano sounds like an echo/background

    Hi! I added Nike+ this morning and now my Nano won't play the music normally. It sounds like background music, I can't hear the words to the songs. I don't know if putting in the Nike+ has anything to do with it. Thanks for the help!

    Check the iPods setting for equalizer (turn the Eq to OFF) and also check if there are other setting on the iPod like Sound Enhancer you find you iTunes (my iPod is older than yours so I am not sure if they added Sound Enhancer to newer ipod or not).

  • My voicemail greeting sounds like I'm in a tunnel

    My husband left me a message and said the greeting sounded like I was in an echo chamber. Any tips? Do you speak directly into the mic at the bottom?

  • Mic is too sensitive, calls constantly cut out. People tell me y loud, and it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. Any background noise, and call is completely cutting out. This occurs all the time, but more so using earphones with in cord mic.

    I have iphone5 ios6 and the Mic is too sensitive, and calls constantly cut in and  out. People tell me there is loud background noise and it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel. Any background noise, and call completely cuts in and out and sounds as if call is dropping. This occurs all the time, but more noticeable while using earphones with in cord mic. I never had this problem with my old iphone4. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a setting that can correct this problem?

    Same problem for me.  So bad in fact that I can't really use my headphones for calls.  I have tried it with several sets of headphones.  My primary are the Bang and Olufsen headphones which were great with the previous iphone 4 and 3. 
    Apple please address this issue.

  • Earbuds Sound Like You're in a Tunnel?

    I have several employees who bought iphones and the earbuds are unusable especially for important phone calls. You can hear the other person alright but they say you sound like you're in a windy tunnel or on a motor cycle when you're in a silent room!
    Does anybody else have this issue?
    Is this enough for an earbud replacement or are they all bad?
    Normal calls are average, speakerphone calls are poor and earbud calls are horrible.

    Yes, I had this exact issue. Earbuds were UNUSABLE for calls - everyone says that you are in a "windy tunnel" like you said, and they can not hear anything.
    I took the phone in and was given new earbuds -- Problem fixed. Still not the best sounding conversation according to others I am talking too, but definitely usable, and people can actually hear me.
    Hope this helps.

  • I sound like I'm in a tunnel when speaking on iPhone? I've had my phone a few months. The problem started suddenly.

    I soundl like I'm in a tunnel when speaking on iphone people say. I've had my Verizon iphone 4s since February and problem started 2d ago. I synced, turned off bluetooth, restarted, recharged. Any suggestions?

    Have you by any chance covered the little hole at the top of the phone or is there any dirt in it?

  • Caller sounds like they are in a tunnel when receiving or making a call.  When using earphones I can hear great.

    When placing or receiving a call with new iphone 5 using the earpiece on the phone, the person on the other end sounds very low, like in a tunnel.  Volume is as high as it will go.  Earbuds work great but I can't always use them, I need to be able to do a NORMAL call without earbuds. 

    Update - made an appointment at Genius bar today (chadstone, Victoria, Australia).
    Genius examined phone, replicated the issue and identified a malfunctioning main microphone. He noted that the reason I could still talk to the other party when I activated the 'speakerphone' function is that the speakerphone has a (second) noise cancelling microphone/speaker at the top of the handset. He replaced the phone under warranty, and offered to help me to set up the new phone. In and out in less than 15 minutes, with new phone operational.
    Very knowledgable, very polite and just great service.. Thank you Apple team at Chadstone.

  • Does the iPod nano support other music services like Spotify ?

    Does the iPod nano only support iTunes or is it possible to download or get other music services ?

    No. Sorry.

    From my limited knowledge the iPod Nano has no support for iCloud or wireless transfers- therefore the only means of downloading songs is by hooking it up to the computer by the white cable.

  • No bass-music sounds like a tin can. Cannot adjust sound

    I just got a new Ipod. My music sounds terrible. No bass-the music sounds like a tin can and I cannot adjust the sound. HELP

    I'm having this problem too. Additionally, sometimes the tinny music comes through the external speaker as well as the headphones. When the sound is 'off', the volume cannot be adjusted.
    My nano is more or less possessed, actually. The artwork for my music is absolutely bizarre - not just wrong and mixed with another album cover that I actually have, but completely random artwork.
    I can handle the strange and frequently amusing artwork - the inability to adjust my sound and inability to turn off the external speaker is killing me.
    The apple store recommended restoring the nano through itunes, which seemed to help the artwork issue, but the speaker/earbud issue just seemed to get progressively worse.
    Sorry for the lack of answers - I would love, love, love to fix this and have a properly functioning nano (my classic has been perfect for YEARS). Still, sometimes it seems to help to commiserate.

  • The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos.  Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik.  Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not.  Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

    The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.
