Problem with headphone jack - any movement and you can't hear anything I have returned my Nano once, the head phone jack did not hold the headphones, they fell right out. The replacement is marginally better, if you put it in your pocket while you are listening to it and move around too much, the headphones are not touching the "perfect" spot on the jack and you can't hear anything. I have tried many, many different headphones and still have the problem. Anyone else experiencing this?

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

I have been using a pair of these headphones for several years. They continue to work great, but the cushions are beginning to peal off of the earpieces. I did not think of looking for replacements for the cushions to replace them. Instead I bought a new set of headphones. But I would like to try to repair the old ones to save some cash for next time. Will you share where you purchased the replacement cushions? I have used my headphones with several different mp3 players but none of them were ipods.

Make sure the earbud rubber is secured properly and then inserted in the ear nice and snug, I've noticed if it comes loose in the ear you can hear sound loss. Other than that make sure jack is inserted all way in. If all that fails I would have say got faulty pair. Best of luck!

I did make researches where is the best price to get the replacement cable for the headphone. I looked here on Amazon if I need for a reason in the future. My headphone is in great shape,the cable also. If I will need a new cable in the future, I might have to get it here on Amazon. I am sorry I was not helpful. I do like the headphone I can tell you that,great with my Pioneer amplifier and good with my ipod and with my tablet also.

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.

Be sure that the headphone really is plugged in all the way. Athough I purchased the Ubuntu version, the hardware is identical. I noticed that it requires a bit more force to plug in the headphone than I expected, so the first couple of times, I got no audio, because I wan't really plugged in. If you still get no audio, that may be a product defect. In that case, contact Amazon or ASUS for exchange or warranty.

Hi - Have you consulted the manual? If it did not come with a manual, you can always find one online. I have not heard of this problem before. When you try to play it out of the speakers, make sure you have the headphones removed from the jack. Also look for a master volume control.

Only used it on my iPod nano and android phone. No issues while using the headphones with either devices. I returned it because of the sound quality

My experience is very different. Maybe my pair is defective but I could barely hear any music over the mower. I was hoping to listen to audio pod casts while mowing but after turning on the mower, I quickly realized that was completely out of the question. The headphones seem to limit outside noise pretty well and turned up I could hear every blade of grass as I walked across the lawn. However, it didn't let me increase the volume of my music independent of the outside mower noise. Volume increases from my Galaxy Not3 3 was ignored. One volume adjustment wheel on the headphones and it reproduced all the outside noise and my music at the same volume. i don't understand how the others had a good result.

Hi! I'm not a specialist but if they can hear ok with ear buds they can hear OK with the Nano as the volume is plenty loud enough.Hope this helps

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.

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.

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.

hey there! ya, i was about to write a follow up. i got an insanely nice woman on the phone at AT support (found the # on the website) and she sent me a replacement cable for free. kind of amazing really. i would expect to pay at least the shipping if it hapens again. it kind of feels like i got another Xmas present because i wouldve had to buy a new set of headphones if i hadnt found a replacement cable. AT has won itself a loyal customer.

I'm not entirely sure what it's for, Dale. I received both my wife and my headphones in two separate orders. Neither of our orders contained any extra cords. The only things included in our packages were a small ziplock baggy with extra earpieces of varying sizes and the actual headphones themselves.Do they work with your phone? Have you tried plugging it in?One of the other replies was mentioning it was a visual notification for receiving a call. Try plugging it in and having someone call.
