  • WELL that's not really problem, you try only one other headphone then Apple headphone. you should try some others and see how's it!

  • I don't understand why everyone hates on Apple headphones. I use them all the time and they have great response.

  • Exacto blade to trim the excess plastic around the connector should fix that problem.

  • Just buy an extender that fits in there and connect your 3rd party phones to the extender?

  • Well...That;s why they give the iPhone with a pair of original headphones... :|

  • i love apple but their headphones are dreadful

  • Then I could use my PSP headphones

  • smart marketing by apple

    thats what she said, lol!

  • hahaha :D

  • Get an adapter thingy and you'll be able to plug in stuff that isn't 3,5 mm.

  • there is a new 1 commin out on the 26/6/09 in ireland cfalled the iphone 3g s

  • you fucking hillbilly

  • they fixed it iphone 3g and soon 4g in JUNE 9 2009

  • not a 4g just new update

  • no their will be a new iphone same or new design and components will be diiferent 802.11 n wifi chip maybe lte and fm.... so ur wrong its not just an update

  • its a update

  • 4G? LOL you fool, its a software update not a new phone.

  • What would u know

  • More than you. and for starters, it's only the SECOND iPhone to come out, 3G is the third generation of telecommunication hardware NOT third generation iPhone. therefore they wouldn't call the next iPhone 4G.

  • Dude for 1 i know more than u and i know what 3g is also the new iphone will be on lte and so will verizon so the iphone might be on their as well

  • it called a sales technique, that way they are making more money from you. Anyway, I'd imagine that 3rd party companies will jump on this and create something. Logitech do this, create things for psp's, ipods etc.

  • hmmmmm, I am looking through videos so if I get an iphone I wont be ripped off

  • did you try one that doesn't curve?

    try a head phones that stick out like the head phones that comes with the iphone

  • gah.. I hate the old iphone, 3g is alot better, but I love apple's ear buds that come with the phone, they are very comfortable

  • if your iphone earphones are broken go to the seller and change it :D, i got a Iphone for free there xD

  • i have a problem with the 3g , theres a reg number one symbol where the phone icon is , what is that??

  • it's probably showing how many missed calls u hav

  • .. :P this problem is fixed... get the 3g :P

  • well iphone's aren't for music's though. apple product have poor sound quality. what's the point of having a music player if your music player has all that fancy wi-fi stuffs but the sound quality is poor?

  • lol...another stupid problem....you say thanx 4 watch i say thanx and shut up

  • thank goodness they have a new iphone 3g and now the ear bugs plug in work for all now..

  • they should have put that in the first iphone thow !

  • iphone better that the other phone dude.

  • I prefer usign the apple headphones anyway they have best sound quality. All others I have tried don't have as good sound quality and don't stay in my ears lol

  • Well what has happened to me in the past was poor sound quality on my very priced headphones. I eventually found that lint from my pocket had collected in the jack. Using tweezers, I was able to remove the filling and push the phones successfully in all the way. I don't know but it may be your promblem that I too had.

  • can you send me a free one? Even if it dosent work. I live in Australia and here they cost $800+

  • Just joking...Ill subscribe. See yas later

  • apple is smart company. like your problem, apple made it purposely so that you can only use their earphone. once your earphone is broken, u have to buy it from them. so as the battery. once it's dead u hav to send it to the company.

  • well use the long sticked headphones because those head phones fit in the jack properly. Ive tried using the headphones you are using but they dont work on my iphone either. Just use the long sticked head phones and it works like a treat. Additionall you can buy and iphone adaptop so you can stick any old headphones into the iphone. Problem resolved!

  • Have iphone 3g lemon. In August, replaced last year's iphone with new 3g one. Screen went black and call cut off every time. After hours on phone with apple reprograming, restoring, apple admitted phone defective. Much hassel, apple replaced with new phone. Screen goes black during call. Can't push a number or an icon, or end call area. Reprogram, upgrade, still problem. Lemon. I want a new phone.

  • well apple doesn't want ppl to buy accessories from other companies other than their own i'm guessing. that sucks cuz i've heard that iPod headphones sucks.

  • is at all u can can find on iPhone?

  • with all of my respect!! but this is one of the worst video i have ever seen!!!

  • hey dumass u know what u can do is modify the end of the fucking jack with a utility knife just make shure u dont cut wires only plastic or what ever thats mae out of thats what i did

  • thats apple for you, get used to it

    :)

  • That took a long time to say something that could have been done in 10 seconds.

  • i have the same labtop as you

  • Get a 3.5mm headset adapter there on ebay for like a dollar

  • you stupid u can buy dam ass adpter for that

    please think before u talk

  • Again, extra hassle buy an adapter for that which needs an adapter from that........ You don't get the point of this video.

  • Why you got to be so mean? Just say there's an adapter, and then you won't be making yourself look like an asshole.

  • it's the only way to get through to people.

  • The 3G iphone is out on July 11th and this problem is resolved, headphone jack is flush rather than recessed...better phone for only $199. Get one.

  • you can buy a adaptor

  • "The Hole Is Recessed Where You Put The Jacking In" haha

  • thats what she said.

  • They Origianal Head Phones Work Better

  • yeah thats true. i watched a video about the new 3G iphone, and it seems that they fixed it in a way, so u can use any kind of headphones

  • Just a note, the new iphone has fixed this problem.

  • can listen to both earbuds and hear music?

  • buy a diff phone dude what the fuck if you dont like the iphone just cuz you cant listen to your country shit get you a diff phone design for mp3...

  • They're probably not iphone compatible! I got some nike earbud headphones and they work like a charm! available at target!

  • the iphone has a 3.5mm jack for audio so you need to buy 3.5mm headphones not 2.5mm

  • You do realise that 3.5mm does not refer to the length of the connection right?

  • the third mm is for the connection to have a microphone in it

  • 3.5mm is the diameter of the connection, not the length. The diameter remains the same whether its a standard stereo audio connection or a stereo audio with microphone connection.

  • well there was a review on it saying it does'nt use the usual size headphone fitting dumb ass! o yer 1 more thing who cares

  • why you making a video about this? Look on the apple website! there a converter! pointless video...

  • I must say that the headphones were one of the things that I really didn't like when I got my iPhone. I hate ear buds, especially the Apple ones that come with it because they are so uncomfortable and hurt my ears. I did however get a converter at Best Buy that I love because it lets me use my Phillips headphones that I actually like. Also, if you like the ear buds but not the ones that come with the phone, I recently found out that the Gummies actually fit so there's another option.

  • what is the problem just use the head phones that come with it!!!

  • buy a $3 adapter...works great

  • u split that phone

  • thats not a problem, stop using your PHONE that you use to TALK to people and use an MP3 Player. lookie here people, phones arent meant to play music, thats what CD players, MP3 players, cars and stereos are for.

  • right, cars are meant for the sole purpose of music.......

  • what you do is you buy ones with the same kind on the end ...

    dahh

    coz i have a pair

  • Pretty sure that was an intentional touch on most iPods.

  • thats not a problem i think, u can check for apple's own ear-plug type. its available i guess now... that unique jack type is a pain in the ass, but they have genuinity..

  • you dumm redneck buy an adapter it like 5 dollars

  • you dont have a dick head about it...

  • Let's be realistic... I am not going to say that this is an iphone problem or design flaw, but it is HIGHLY annoying. When you take a piece of INDUSTRY STANDARD equipment (in this case, the ear buds) and discover they don't fit in your beloved iphone, it's not right. How would you feel if you bought a car, but the dealership told you you had to buy an adapter so groceries would fit in the trunk?

  • that´s not a problem with the iphone :S that´s your poor headset that dosen´t fit the iphone

  • there are so many ways around that, get the adapter for like $5 and its not a problem anymore.

  • This is not a problem. It was specified that the jack has 2.5 mm so...

  • You can buy adapters to use your own headphones

  • Yes, TWO INCH adapters!

    Why the hell would you want to have a bulky gray ugly crap sticking out of your iPhone just to use your normal headphones?!

  • oh just shut up everyone about the damn iphone, its a great phone. But some how EVERYONE finds some shit to say about it. Ive never seen anyone make videos about any other phone than this one. What are you trying to get people too stop buying apple products. No, the iphone is not PERFECT.And not any phone out there is either, just shut the fuck up "IPHONE PROBLEMS", iff you dont like it or u arent happy with it dont buy the fuccking product. Damn go buy something else.

  • i think it says on the box or book or somthin that u can onlyuse apple headphones or some special kind

  • the biggest problem here is that you're not having an Apple laptop my friend ;)

  • Just to let everyone know, apple makes adapters for this problem. It is a little "extender" so to speak for the mini jack port so you can use any set of headphones you want. Check it out on apples website. DONT shave away at your expensive phone

  • Мудак толстый.. просто нет слов из за его тупости

  • first of all, you're right, microsoft did a similar thing with the 360 and the wireless routers. Some companies make more money out of forcing people to buy their accesories rather than someone elses than they do with the actual console/pc/phone/whatever.

    Secondly, if you get headphones with a staight jack (as opposed to right angle ones shown here) then they should fit. I bought some Virgin Megastores Earphones, best £3 I ever spent, I suggest getting those cos they should fit the iPhone.

  • I don't like how the headphones plug in to the top of the phone, but I guess with that Wi-Fi thing at the bottom, it's a sacrifice I'll have to make.

  • You can either use dremel tool to make the opening bigger..

    OR

    you can trim the rubber part on the ear phone plug.. so it can plug in little bit deeper..

    All you need like couple of mm

  • I think that the earbuds that come with the iPhone are really neat. Although they aren't the best thing in the world, they provide good sound quality, a microphone, and a special feature, where by pinching on the microphone once, you can pause and play music, and by pinching twice quickly, you can skip songs. I find this useful because I don't like having to take my iphone out just to play any random song i want.

  • Hahaha that happend to me the other day I was gonna try out my other ear phones and didnt fit all the way.

  • Go on ebay. There are million of adpators on sale for that problem.

  • i think you can get a adapter available so you can use it with your standerd headphones... hope this helps

  • yes u can i seen them for like $5. i would think apple designed it like that for a reason because with after market earbuds your unable to talk when calls come in. durr

  • the only problem with your iphone is the headset.. u bought a new headset just because it has earbuds..? the heaset kinda hurts my ears so i bought an earbuds to put on my headset.. it's popular here in the philippines.. =D

  • this i can agree with.

  • do you have to use the headphone? like even for calls or if you want to watch a movie

  • That isn't even a real problem. You can use the other ones.

  • u cant they r special ear buds for the iphone thats all as its a hands free kit he is complaining he has been given a free v v good hands free kit and they r ear phones too

  • They are decent; HOWEVER, they are nothing compared to a pair of BOSE, or some other high-end headphones. Luckily, V-MODA came out with the vibe duo with a microphone and a button.

  • get an adapter. only like 5$

  • cant u just use blue tooth head phones

  • No, the iPhone doesn't support A2DP bluetooth profile

  • who the hell cares if you cant use all kinds of headphones for it? this guy has the right headphones anyways!!! why are you looking for reasons to complain about the iphone? just put in the headphones that work and stop whining.

  • well they should care why? because its their product they are buying plus u aint gonna go out and buy the same standard headphones over and over once they have torn or something i dont think they cost that cheap so it is better to have compatability with after market sound plugs

  • why? because people like me [and him obviously] are audiophiles- and we just CANT FUCKING STAND THE DEFAULT EARPHONES. go out and buy some of your OWN earphones. and im talking about something good. go out and pay at least 150 bucks on earphones and use them for a week. then go back to the default earphones, and youll notice, the bass is SHITTY and the apple earphones just are to cheap and alwase break.

  • duh... every single phone you buy nowadays has there own kind of expansion area for headphones. not all are the same. its just a way of making money.

  • These problems all have solutions! Why dont you talk about all the problems with Vista?! May make a longer video (you may even be able to start a series)!

  • what a loser!

  • Its not supposed be adaptable for all headphones.

  • i like going back to watch these videos. now that all these "problems" are solved. simply buy an extention jack for what 10 bucks? on the site. i have some nice bose headphones that i couldn't use at first, but just spend 5 bucks, and problems solved.

  • Word up DrkstHr7. The ones who come with are great, plus the have that little remote the allows you to answer a phone call, pause and skip music without having to take up the iPhone from your pocket.

  • the ones that come with it suck but apple thinks about these things when they make their products... they want you to use their shit... if you are to activate the i phone what program does it make you use? i know this sounds dumb but its the only phone you need to use the makers music program to activate it... they are smart thats all.

  • omg i got the same laptop as you $1,500 on it yeah lmao im actually on it right now typin this unless mines newr mine gots all its stickes on it still im 2 lazy to take em off

  • i say we just break all I-phone and use our money to buy someting else

  • Chris,

    To use REALLY NICE headphones (I use AKG K240 Monitor headhones) for mixing stuff and its jack does not go in. The headphone problem is NOT APlle's problem. It is the company who made those nice after-market in-the-ear earbuds. They probable came out BEFORE the iPhone did so it is really no one's fault here, sir. Not even yours.

  • The earphone that come with it is shit. Ask anyone that knows anything about sound and they'll tell you "it's shit"

  • why complain about fuckin headphones?

    the ones that come with it are fuckin great

  • thats cuz the little white part on the iphone helps your to go thorught songs on ur iphone so you dont have to take it out of your pocket dumb fuck

  • Cant you splice the good ear phones to the ipod ear phones?

  • i cant wait when the iPhone will come out in Austraila, i seriuosly dont care if there are battery problems i just wanna get my hands on it

  • I think they make adapters so that you can use other headphones, I think Belkin makes a good one.

  • wow that is stupid

  • thats terrible!

  • man apple are so fucked they just cant stop making themselves more ways to piss of the public and make them give apple more money, they did that for no reason, except 4 more money

  • they sell an adapter for your "high dollar" headphones. problem solved.

  • No need for an adapter. I just used a small pair of scissors and cut the hole bigger. Simple. easy. free.

  • key word here "they sell" with this thing costing out the ass why couldnt it be more like "they include". just more shit they get you to buy.

  • apple doesnt make them i think belin does and a few others. i thinks its a better fix than cutting up you "high dollar" head phones.

  • that still lame, they did that for no reason (other than you have to either use their headphones or buy an adapter) the best solution would be if they had never done that in the first place.

  • this is just what apple does, they want to lock you into only using their products.

  • It has been common practice with apple since the early days and it still shows today.

  • Yeah but Apple still make quality products.

  • Ever heard of bluetooth?

  • What if you want better sound?

  • Minorities don't get better sound.

  • i have also ecountered this problem...

    easy fix- mod your headphones... get a exacto knife and cut around the jack 2-3mm of the plastic(depending on type, 2mm for straight, and 3 for 'bent' plugs)

    i know... i too think it is rediculos that we must mod our own headphones to work... but steve jobs is an evil dictator... watcha gunna do... you know, other than buy another phone

  • Steve Jobs is a god.

  • no, that'd be ur mom's ass. Steve Jobs Is a piece of crap! given by none other than gods asshole. Steve has it all, and I'm hustlin tryin to make money to buy this phone? Fuck him

  • hahahahaha.

    you sound like a minority.

    minorities make me laugh.

  • Steve has it all because he's smart. If you weren't some stupid piece of shit that fucked your mom and smoked 2nd hand marijuana, you'd be maybe 1/4 as rich as him. Take your dad's dick out your mouth and your quit suckin your mom's pussy and you might learn something.

  • Problem? The Apple earbuds are proprietary. That's like saying the Xbox has a "problem" because it can't run Quicktime. You want to use your own earbuds? Get an adapter goof.

  • This is why you wait untill the second version of the iPhone.

  • Everybody feel sorry for me, I have an Iphone. My life sucks.

  • LOL, yeah, I want an iPhone

  • Yeah...that is a major problem!

  • the standard iphone earbuds are much better than any aftermarket ones, why would you not want to use them.

  • lol not really, the iphone earbuds are just the standard ipod phones that you can get for 30$, after market ones can go up to 999$, and have plenty of extra bass, sound quality etc..

  • no they are not. the standard iphone earbuds actually suck to a high extent.

  • let me have since u wanna b picky

  • THANKS

  • Oh goodness, it's a three input jack! You can't put your crappy "High Dollar, after market" in that thing!

  • ur the problem.

  • get a life

  • If the standard headphones are anything like the ipod ones then I'd want to replace them too, ever here what someone else is listening too on the train? It's always Ipod standard phones, plus they don't fit my ear and imo don't sound that great, you can certainly buy better.

  • of course the company ewants you to use thier head phones what did you expect?!

  • Dumb shits... what if the head phones it came with break or you lose them... you have to go to the fuckin store just to get new one while you got those perfectly fine normal headphones that can still work. iv'e seen it happen.

  • Well you made that money & got that technology.

  • i thinks it's so funny how no one sees how this NWO is coming along,theyve got their notebooks, they have taken the music market, they are just getting into phones and tv but they also have ensured outher little things along the way I.E. the headphone buisness haha

  • Who fuckin' cares? After all, you mow with your overloaded iPhone, worth more than your mower. You got too much shit hooked up anyway.

  • Try sticking your little dick in that headphone jack :P

  • lmao this is not a big problem !! haha why do u even wanna change the head phones? don't the apple one fit in ur ear? lol

  • Have you eaten that steak yet? How does the ear buds fit in your earrs.

  • first of all your expensive headphones dont have a mic on them do they so you cant answer a call where the ihpones buds you can that is why its resest so you use there headphones and u dont miss calls. Though they made an adapter to solve your problem so enjoy not asnwering ur calls now with ur old headphones.

  • This problem was already solved by Apple. An Apple iPhone TTY adapter has been made so that you do have the cability to plug in your "high-dollar" headphones.

  • Special head phones come with it. Why would you put crappy old head phones in there.

  • Because he feels like it, moron.

  • they are messd up

  • where did you grow up yea !where did you

  • elmagranday is 100% right ipod headphones do not cancel out outside sound they are brutal where as the E500 do they literally work as earplugs but with music

    for 500 or 600 dollars they shoud allo wother headphones so shut the fuck up blactehhawk642

  • dont be a cheap skate then...and buy i pod head phones.....you wouldnt use a razr charger for an iphone....then why would you use different headphones....dumbass

  • hello the problem is that the ipod head phone dont cover up outside sounds. he bought sound cancelation head phone for he can hear the music better. if i brought a iphone i would want to use my E500 head phones which cost me $499 for the E500. i would want to use my headphones that completly remove outside sounds. thats a huge problem if for people who like to use better headphones.

  • becuase the fucking apple company doesnt put sound filters in their headphones making it so if you play the music loud. a 95% higher chance u will go deaf
