My new ear phones do not work.

Actually I am probably doing something stupid.

I bought them from the aplenty store. It said they are compatible with the iPad.

I plug them in but the sound still comes out of the speaker and not the ear phones.

These are the ear phones:

Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic - Apple Store (U.S.)

 

It's a stiff connection. Push it in farther. I had the same trouble.

Hth

 

Yep, that was it.

Thanks.

 

I would suggest you to buy a white ear buds..
