vercetti said:Hi, I've just purchased a 'new iPad'. Silly question but, can you use any headphones or do I have to buy ones specifically designed for iPad?
vercetti said:Thanks guys. The only pair I have laying a round at the minute are my blackerberry ones, which do not fit. But work in my laptop. Which is why I asked. Looks like I will be investing insome more then. I kind of expected a 480 quid piece of kit to come with them tbh haha. Not to worry though, thanks again!
Yes the absence of headphones is strange. I am also looking for some good headphones.
How is the battery life effected with bluetooth/wireless headphones?

We have had many members with issues of earphones not fitting or falling out and the problem has been because the jack needed a firm push to seat it properly. I think it's worth a try.
vercetti said:I see. I've found they do actually fit. But like you said, they don't slot straight in.. Just required a firm push which I was frightened to do as I didn't want to break the socket within minutes of owning it. Thank you!
Looking sounds good!one of my friends tell me about this to see and i see really nice...if it looks as good as it sounds i will have to get it.Hi Vercetti - welcome to the forum!
Concerning headphones - numerous options that use the 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack (or even a larger adapter), so 'in the ear' or 'around the ears' will work fine depending on your preference and the price that you wish to pay; but I'm sure that you have plenty just lying around?
However, for me on my iPod (same on the iPad), I use a pair of Rocketfish BT (Bluetooth) headphones (shown below) - fit my head nicely, no wires, and quite good sound - worth a consideration if you don't want to be 'attached' to your music player!
