headphones don't work with ipad jack.

[jbsalee]

why don't my earphones work with the ipad headphone jack? I have tried bose and apple earphones.

is the volume off? I actually use Bose and the Apple Earbuds all the time....they both work just fine. My Bose have an on/off switch, but that has nothing to do with the earbuds.

Remember, when you plug in your headphones you will have a different volume profile then when you unplug them...so if sound is up full blast when they are unplugged, it can be muted when you plug them in.

Is it a problem with the jack not going in, jbsalee?

Do you know if there's a high level control like on the iPod?
I don't have mine yet.

Make sure the plug has two black rings.

My Bose Noise Cancellation 3 with telephone cable works just fine.
I love to use them for Skype calls and watching movies etc.

I have same problem. Is the color of the rings important? The one from my Ipod has two rings but there are white. A Sony headset has two but they are green
tnx

I have Bose and my jack won't fit my iPad.
I was told I need to purchase an adapter from Apple is this correct?

This really helped!! I checked for the two rings and they was there. I just had to push real hard.
