With the charger case on, can the Apple EarPods plug directly in without the audio extension cable? Or do you always need the audio cable?

Yes it plugs in without cable extension, but cable extension comes with charger. You don't need it.

No extension to use the headphones. I use the ones that come from apple and I have no problems plugging them in or unplugging them.

First, I love this system and the sound is great. I cannot speak to the i-pod 6th gen. I have an i-pod 4th gen. and an i-phone 4, both of which work with the connector on this system. If the outlet you plug your charger in on your i-pod 6th gen. is the same as for the i-pod 4th gen. and i-phone 4, you will be OK.

As K10B commented, the product comes with a headphone jack extension that mates to virtually every brand of headphone out there. One simply attaches the female receiver of the headphone jack "extension" to the male end of the headphone cord--then plugs the male end of the jack extension into the small rectangular opening at the bottom left (when one is facing the front of the case/phone) of the case. Voila. It connects and you can hear your audio output from the phone on your headset. Hope this helps.

Yes you can!, This is the only minor con for some people. ALL Earphones will fit, but not most HEADPhones, for example my Sennheiser DJ headphones jack will not fit because of the deep indentation of the case. Also, most microUSB ends will not fit unless it is slim and does not have a large enclosure. I hope you all understand what i mean, basically if you have anything similar to the Apple earphones/earbuds, like Klipsch ,Skullcandy and Sony, IT WILL FIT, but if you headphones have a large enclosure, it will NOT fit. Same goes for the microUSB charger cables.

I've got about 50% success with the end of the charger fitting or not fitting the case. The ones that work stay in circulation. (And to the answerer who said he couldn't hear/be heard... a bluetooth earpiece works wonders. Or in desperation, open the charging port and speakerphone it.)

I use mine with my Mac very frequently just to listen to music and require no adapter to do so. You just simply plug into the headphone jack with the supplied cord. No purchase or additional items needed.

The case comes with small headphones extender cable, which fits perfectly in the hole on the case. You could use the case without extender, but depending on the headphone's jack size/design, it could have problems fitting in or reaching the jack on the phone.

Yes, it works with the iphone4 earbuds and the iphone5 earpods without having to remove the case, just tested them..

It does not. No something I thought I would need. If I want to use earphones, they can be plugged in directly to the iphone/ipad.

My headphones plug straight in. I don't think it'd be a problem, but don't know for sure. The holes lined up perfectly for everything to plug into, and the case is super thin. I'm still very happy with it.

Yes, you have to use the headphone adapter. I also found out after the purchase that the original iPhone charger barely fits-so I'll have to purchase a new charger eventually because it will break.

There is a small hole that lines up with the headphone jack for an iPhone 5. That works with the Apple EarPods that come with the phone. I personally prefer Monster sport headphones which have a 45° or "L-shaped" headphone jack that slips through slit that the phone goes through

I believe in my personal experience is to provide better quality of sound. My EarPods are great and working wonderfully, the pointing at you is the main speaker that feeds you most of the music. Try it out, I was spekitcal and switching too, but I tried it and now I probably wouldn't go back because the pervious ones I had would always hank on my ears when trying to pull them now quickly and these just flow out. You know what I mean. I hope this was helpful and enjoy if you do decide to change EarPods.

I currently use Auvio earbuds and neither the jack nor the ear buds fit into the slots as shown. However, with the cable wrapped around the back part everything stays relatively tangle-free while not in use. Ear phones that are very similar to the Apple ones should fit though.
