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 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

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.

Hard to say from a distance / strange that the headphone works alone, I'm sure you've double checked the plugs / have you tried on a different device ?/ if the plugs are correct it should work or not, shouldn't be a sometimes works

The display works fine. My issue was that it is in fact not waterproof it failed on second use. I have not bought a replacement yet but i have talked to some people who purchase a water proofed nano, and someone who bought a finnis. Both like them. The lady who bought the Finnis has had hers for 3 years and regularly swims with it at the YMCA. I am more inclined to buy the nano, because it uses waterproof headphones that can be replaced, whereas the Finnis uses bone conduction technology that is integrated into the device. I am not sure it will work correctly because you will still hear the sound of the water splashing by your head as you swim. The display works fine.

If you're still hearing sound from the nano's internal speaker, that would tell me that the connection has not been made. Once it's connected, the internal speaker is disabled.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have a 4 month old nano that is fine with just the aux cord. I ended up just returning it. Thanks again.

You have to make sure they go all the way in, if you push it and it still has a gap, it sounds crappy. You will know they are in there if you think you broke the headphone jack in the process.

Yes, I had the same problem and wound up getting replacement from the company after I posted a bad review about it. I did, however, find that the problem wasn't as bad later on and no problem using line-in. I'd say always use the line-in and your headphone jack when possible.

I have a 2nd generation Nano, a 3rd generation Nano Shuffle and now a 6th generation Nano. I mostly use them for exercise and the 3rd generation is absolutely the best of all. It's the easiest to use because the controls are on the headphones so you can change songs with a press of the button. Because it's so compact, I can clip it to my clothing so I barely realize I have it on. The 2nd generation with the trackwheel can be a pain to exercise with. I haven't used the 6th generation Nano enough to really comment yet.

Hi, Veronica. First you should probably check to see if they headphone jack is inserted completely. However, from what you just described, it could be possible that they are either broke or it is a manufacturing issue, because the pair I had also had the same issue after a few months.

I am listening to these headphones right now on my Lenovo.The button however does nothing in the computer and my computer has a separate jack for Headphones and Mic so the mic isnt working the way it does with my phone.

I can't fit any of my headphones into the jack. The case is too thick and the headphone jack can't reach the phone inside. I can't find an auxiliary cable that fits it either. I just bought $300 Bose headphones for conference calls and they do not fit in this case. And you can't take off the case easily (which is good) but now I can't even try to use my new headphones. ANYONE FIND A CABLE THAT FITS OR AN EXTENDER?

Yes. Call them if something is wrong with the headphones. Ship it to them. It will take a couple months for skullcandy to get them back to you.

If you are having trouble connecting to the port, use the smaller jack. However, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you intuitively know the difference betwee the smaller 3.5mm plug and its larger counterpart. If you are experiencing sound issues once plugged in your iPod might not be generating enough output to power the headphones or the headphones are defective. In the case of defect, test the headphones on similar devices to test for defects. If you are sure that the iPod is not powering the headphones correctly (because they are not very loud or sound "sandy" despite working correctly with other devises) you have a lot of portable amp options. My favorite brand of headphone amplifier (and other headphone accessories) is FiiO. They offer a lot of inexpensive and reliable products. Specifically, I recommend purchasing the FiiO E6, E7, or E02i "Rocky." Buy the one with the best combination of price-point and features for your needs. You can't really go wrong with any of them. Hope you found this helpful! Remember, the key is figuring out that the headphones are not defective.

I don't have a Nano, 7th generation but looking at the specifications the audio connection is 3.5mm, the same diameter as the JVC 160A. The big difference is the Nano is Monaural(single channel), and the JVC is Stereo(Left and Right channels). You may not get any sound or you may only get sound in either the left or right side(ear), depending on if and where the contacts touch. If you've already have these headphones and really want to use them monaural(single channel), you may be able to get an adapter at Radio Shack or other big electronic parts store that would work. 3.5mm stereo to 3.5mm monaural. Good Luck, hope this helped.

This sounds like a problem with the connection of either the headphones or the ICON. To isolate the problem, plug you headphones into a different source to check them out. If they sound ok, the the ICON has a bad connection in the headphone connector, or elsewhere in the unit. At that point, contact Nuforce for warranty information.

good question, wish I knew the answer, since I have so much trouble with ear buds from any company (it must be my ears) I haven't used any of mine long enough to worry about replacements. Stuck with the headphones. Possibly they fall out because they do not fit properly? I know that varying sizes are provided - as with all of these earbud versions - but I have the same problem with all of them, probably one ear canal is just slightly larger than the other, as is true about our feet, etc. If the company has its own website try checking there to see if they have any options for replacements.
