This unit works only on Blue Tooth with my iPhone 5. Yet, it works on all three sources with my iPad Air 2. What gives?

Make sure it is seated correctly. If you have a case you may need to remove it. My kids have a 5c and 5s and both work fine.

I would say best option to narrow down the source of the issue is to try other iPhones, preferably iPhone 5's like yours, to see if it's not the lighting cable port on the phone. You know it works with your iPad air, so, maybe if you know some other people with iPhones, friends or family, you can test the unit with their iphones. Turn off Bluetooth on your phone and hook it up. Reset the phone, home button and sleep button held down together until the phone turns off and you see the apple appear on the screen, try connecting it again keeping the Bluetooth turned off. Reset network settings, try connecting it again. I have an iPhone 5s no issues here. If the dock works with you iPad than I would assume it has to do with the phone. Try those things see if it doesn't help. Do you have issues connecting it with other things to transfer data, like iTunes? Maybe try a restore on your phone with iTunes just make sure you back up your phone, but it does sound more like a hardware issue than a software issue. Still, doesn't hurt to try a few things. Backup your phone if you do a restore though, and know that any unpaid music will be lost with that restore so consider that to before you do it. Hope I could help if you didn't already try some or all of those things. You can also try this tech article from the apple website to troubleshoot it gives a link on how to restore the phone. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203284 and if anything call apple for tech support they might be able to help you. Update your support profile so if you call the rep can find your information fairly quickly. You can update your profile at https://supportprofile.apple.com/ last I would say if all else fails find your device manual and call for support their. But because your iPad Air 2 works with it, I'm leaning more towards the phone as the issue.

You have to go into your ipad settings and make sure that you have the BLUE TOOTH turned on. It pairs through the Bluetooth system.

I use it with my iPad and iPhone. Just go to settings and turn your Bluetooth on then press the big earpiece button on the headphones to connect. It works really well - I love them!!!

Sorry I really don't know about your devices. I just know it works on the ipad and iphone. And it really sounds great !

Not sure about iPad but It did not work with my iPhone 5s. I plugged it up and put in the car. Hardly any noise came out. I turned up to decent audio and I could hear bad feedback in my car. When I switched back to radio, I had had the volume so loud it about made my ears bleed.

I don't know, it sure works well with iPad 2, does air have the same cable as iPad 2 or is small like the iPhone. If the cable is the same as iPad 2 it will work. We love these speakers.

I am using it with an IPad, I don't know which other Bluetooth capable devices it will work with - many, I would imagine.

I use it with an IPad 2. It works well. Apple made these so they function well with bluetooth devices. I am pleased at the ease of connectivity.

Ive only used my iPod with this and have actually never hooked it up to my iPhone because the 5 and it's connection are different than iPhones past. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have an I Pod touch and it works with no problems. If an ipad mini has bluetooth compatibility I can't see why it wouldn't work too. Hope this helps.

I don't have the iPad Air, just the iPad mini. Its works flawlessly in my iPhone 5 and iPad Mini :D

My unit may or may not work at any given distance. Experience with this device (and I have TWO of them) is similar to yours, though. I've always put it down to the Bluetooth capability of my iPhone being quite limited. I doubt that you have a defective device. Instead, I think that it's mostly just limitations of Bluetooth...AND the fact that this device just isn't quite as "quality" as we'd like for it to be. Put that down to "you get what you pay for"...and these were't very expensive.

I successfully paired with an iPad3 (spring 2012 edition), and iPhone 4S, and and iPhone5.From what I understand, the Bluetooth technology should function the same on all Apple products.

I've tried this on an iPad 2 and it works great. In my opinion, no different to the built in headphone socket, but useful if this is bust!

I have the old iPad and it works with that but it should work with the iPad air since it's used with Bluetooth.

Yes. It works with iPod iPad iPhone 4&5 and other Bluetooth capable devices. We had a little trouble getting it to link to my wife's new phone but after a couple of try's it worked great.

I can confirm the iPad 2 because mine works. I have an iPhone 4S and that works as well. Not sure about the 5s though.
