Why are these headphones not being discovered on my MacBook Pro 2011 OR iPhone 4S? I don't see anywhere in the description they don't work with IOS

It's more of a Mac thing. Instead of connect to P253BT thru "Browse Device", go to "Setup Bluetooth device" instead. Your MacBook will then see P253BT just fine. Threads are on Apple support communities blog. As for iPhone 4S, hold down the big button until you see LED blinks in BOTH blue and red, i.e. activating the pairing mode. Check your iPhone 4S under Settings -&gt; Bluetooth and tab on the P253BT icon to expedite the process. Both devices will see and pair with each other immediately the next time around.

Bluetooth generally doesn't recognize your OS, so I doubt that is the problem. It took me a few tries to get my devices connected. Here is how I connected my phone, ipad and my laptop: 1) Turn the headphones completely off. 2) Turn Bluetooth ON for the phone or Macbook, and turn on the setting to allow devices to discover it. 3) Hold down the big button on the headphones until it flashes red. Now it will either connect or it won't. If it doesn't connect, turn the headphones off, cycle the Bluetooth adapter on the device, and try it again. Only the laptop connected the first try, the other devices took several tries. Good luck! Bluetooth generally doesn't recognize your OS, so I doubt that is the problem.

They have a scrolling wheel on the center of the cord. I have no idea if they will work with an iPhone since they are just normal audio jack headphones.

Yep!!!! All you have to do is go into your settings and turn on your Blue Tooth, then they will work with anything that has the Blue Tooth option: your computer, iPad, iPod, etc. Hope this helps! I love mine, and use them all the time, even with my iPhone. Just remember, if you have more than one device with Blue Tooth, you'll need to pick which one you want to use with your headset, and then turn OFF Blue tooth on the rest of your devices nearby. Otherwise, your headphones won't know which device to connect to and they won't work.

Hi, I have these connected to my MacBook Pro laptop. But the think I really love is that I also discovered they could be connected to my iPod nano! So far I am really pleased with the sound and quality.

My understanding was that these headphones were built to work for iPhones and iPods. To the best of my knowledge, Apple decided to swap the contacts in their headphone jacks to work differently to defacto standard created by Nokia. If my memory is correct then the volume controls on these headsets should NOT work on anything but an Apple device

I have used these earbuds on iPhone 4S, iPad 4th gen, and MacBook Pro. They work well on all my devices. Can't really speak to iPad Air. Sorry.

They have a 3.5mm auxiliary jack which is the same thing as regular headphones. If your iPhone has that port, they will work. However, the power cord is a usb cable. You will still need to plug that into a computer, or you can get a usb wall charger/adaptor. You can find those in the cell phone charger section of any Wal-Mart and they are relatively inexpensive.

1.) Is Bluetooth on your 4S turned on(this can be done by going under settings-bluetooth)?2.) Is the headset in discover mode?3.) Is the headset still paired with your Macbook when it tries to pair with your phone? 4.) Is the headset charged? If yes to all of the above, I would go to the Jabra support website.

I didn't have any problem pairing them with my iphone 4s. Its been a year or so since I did it, so I really don't remember the steps. I just followed the instructions and it worked. Sorry I can't be of more help. Perhaps you got a defective set?

Don't understand why you mention the headphone jack...don't these speakers work without headphones? I'm looking for a way to boost the sound of my macbook pro so I can work with music from my macbook pro in a studio and hear it.

These headphones connect via a wire and also via blutooth 3.0. You can check you equipment to see if it supports blutooth version 3.0. Some newer blutooth radios are backwards compatible with earlier versions, but check on your blutooth. So, yes the headphones are compatible, but that begs your question. What you wanted to ask is this: Will Apple iOS8 support the function buttons on these headphones? The headphones has buttons for pause, skip, fast forward, etc. That is what I don't actually know. Sorry, but since I don't use Apple products I am not qualified to answer your questions.

They are the same exact headphones from Apple. Packaging and all - just one generation older than what Apple sells now. The design of the mic/remote is slightly different. I believe they only come with the mesh caps that are on the headphones, no extra replacements. If you set up an appointment for tech support at the Apple Store, they should be able to give you extra mesh caps as a replacement part.

Hi, I plugged mine into the USB PORT for power and into the OUTPUT PORT for headphones/speakers and turned them up! That's all. Check to be sure you have the right port for headphones. My Mac laptop has two similar ports, one for input and one for output. The output has a headphone icon. You shouldn't have to do anything else. You can test your output to see if it's the port or the speakers by trying a pair of earbuds or headphones in the port instead. Is there sound? If yes, then it's not the port! Be sure they're plugged into the USB port too. That's about all I can tell you. I sure hope they work! Mine are nice little speakers and when I need to I use them on my Mac because it doesn't have very loud speakers.

Thanks for your question. These can be connected by either USB or 1/8" stereo connection such as to a headphone output on an Apple device. Thanks again.

I don't know for sure, but the headphones have a 3.5mm mini-plug which works on Mac and PC computers and on my iPhone. If you have a standard 3.5mm jack for a mini-plug, then yes, they will work. The sound is excellent. I learned about them by Brent Butterworth who reviews stereo equipment for About.com. The range is excellent, bass is full, highs are clear, yet it it still has a robust midrange. I'm no reviewer, just know that I like decent sound. Worth the few bucks they cost. Good luck.

I think the head phones are defective. I sent mine back because they didn't work on my phone, iPad, and other devices.
