I am on my second one now, and it is still that way! I'm going to try to return it AGAIN and maybe get a different ipod. I wish I knew what else to do!

happened o me and took it to the Apple store. The Genius Bar technician took it into the back room and with a tweezers removed a bunch of lint from the jack port hole. It works again like a charm and didn't cost anything... try it!

Yes, but I thought I was just going deaf--I'm older probably, at 68, and enjoy listening to my iPodTouch for audiobooks, and it is frustrating to have the sound only periodically when you are listening to a good story. I am sorry to hear that the problem isn't me, but the product.

I have/had a 4th generation nano and the same thing happened. I called for support and was told that the headphone socket needed to be replaced. I found detailed repair videos on youtube and everything else I needed EXCEPT the part. The part was discontinued and I've not been able to find it. However, it is my understanding that if you bring your ipod into an apple store that they can/will replace the part for something like $80.00

Last month I tried them with an ipod and they worked great and the sound was good. I think the sound volume is only low when it works with the Innotab. But unfortunately the black ear piece covering continuosly fell off and one was lost. They just would not stay on. I personally am looking for a different pair. I hope this helps.

I had problems with my Sansa Clip's headphone jack too. After 3 months, I started to only get sound in the left channel of my headphones. My co-worker had a similar problem with his Sansa Fuze. It sounds like Sandisk isn't making their headphone jacks sturdy enough.Anyone know if the Sansa Clip Plus' headphone is any stronger?

This happened to me as well. After doing some research, and not wanting to fiddle with all kinds of software solutions or return the unit, I bought a USB sound card. Amazon sells the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage micro for $29.99. I just downloaded the driver from their website and "bam" all my headphone problems are solved. Not only that, it also boosts the sound volume and quality remarkably. The other great thing is that your headsets will stay put. i found the Asus headphone jack to be incredibly loose. Hope this helps

Sometimes that happens (the one side playing part) to me with my Ipod. I usually just remove the jack and put it back in and it works fine. You could buy another AUX cable to see if thats the issue. If not, you should have a warrenty with SkullCandy to replace them. My advice is to first replace the AUX cable but if you don't want to spend anything, use that warrenty to just get a new set. You may have a defective pair of headphones. Hope this helped!

I contacted Sony, there were no reports of problems with sound!???? So I pointed out that there were many people having issues, but the only recourse is to send it in under warranty to see if they can fix it - even though it's a design issue, in my opinion.

There is definitely a problem with the audio jack. Mine was working OK for about 2-3 weeks. I'm now having the same problem as you. When rotating the headphone jack (on the headphones) - the audio comes in and out.

I don't know. Is the earphone connection loose? I figured out that the newer ones have strange earphone jacks. YOu have to push the connector in really hard, seems like you might break it, to get it seated correctly. ON the way there, you may get sound out of only one side, or no sound. When you move, the movement of the earphone may be causing the sound to cut out. However, when it is firmly seated in the correct place, it plays correctly out of both earphones. It loosens up over time. Contact Sansa if that doesn't work. they have great customer support.

Hi, Veronica. First you should probably check to see if they headphone jack is inserted completely. However, from what you just described, it could be possible that they are either broke or it is a manufacturing issue, because the pair I had also had the same issue after a few months.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have a 4 month old nano that is fine with just the aux cord. I ended up just returning it. Thanks again.

Yep, mine crapped out after 3 months, hence why i bought this pair because its a lot cheaper to replace a cable than entire headphones! Replacement cost me around $30, i'm just making sure i'm careful with them, this pair comes with a second cable but its quite short too short to put on your ipod and still keep in pocket. To be honest you'd probably be hard pressed to find headphones that don't have cables that crap out after not that long its a common problem that plagues them. For me the cost of replacing the cable is worth it due to the sheer pleasure i get from listening to these great headphones.

I felt the headphone does not reach that level of volume. The max volume is actually decent and not very loud. I tried with iPhone 4, 4s, laptops with different media players. Stating this, I did not feel the sound leakage actually.

You have to make sure they go all the way in, if you push it and it still has a gap, it sounds crappy. You will know they are in there if you think you broke the headphone jack in the process.

Yes, that is exactly why I have come - the headphones don't fit if you push the jack in all the way. What have you done? Did you return yours to the store, or did you contact the manufacturer?

I would give Bose a call. I did not experience anything like that. In fact, my cord gets snagged and fly out of the actual headphone all the time and I still don't have a problem like that.

Ours worked with no issues. If you've tried another set of headphones with no success then perhaps there is a defect.

I have never had that problem yet so can't really say. Have you tried different headphones with the same issue? If the other headphones work then it would the connector on you the headphone that doesn't that is the problem, probably a loose wire connection. I use mines with several different headphones and have yet to have an issue with it. And I do use it at least a couple of hours every day.
