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

Anyone out there have issues with the earphone jack? They sent me a replacement and this jack also refuses to work.

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

Honestly I'm not sure, I got rid of the headphones. Though I do need to update the review. Skullcandy did honor the warranty but had the exact same issue with the replacement headphones. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

First time when I tested them, they worked with my Nokia. Second time, just left speaker sounded. Then, I used mi PC via cables with no problem. So, I'd like to answer a question to all dissapointed users: Could this problem to be fixed in another place?. Thank you.

My problem with the earpiece is that it never feels secure in my ear -- if I walk with it in, it even falls out sometime. I have the smallest insert on the earpiece, but it doesn't help (note that I have the same problem with the standard iPod headphone) -- is there a solution for this?

I recently bought the 8GB Nano from Amazon and returned it within a week due to the problems you describe. I thought I was the only one. 8GB Nano would freeze up at least once a day, and would sometimes turn on unexpectedly (when it was turned off and I would just pick it up) with a solid white screen that would not turn off and would not respond to button presses - I would have to reset it. I was so disappointed with my ipod experience that I requested a refund (rather than a replacment) so I can buy a competitor's product. I am jaded about Apple/iPod now.

Have not had that problem with my pair. Usually that occurs when the cord is not twisted in properly. Otherwise I am not sure what the problem would be, probably the headphone rather than the plug if it's one side only.

I had a mechanical problem, the headphone jack began to crackle when the headphone plug moved at all, and finally one channel began to go out when the headphone cord moved at all. SanDisk technical support did a quick bit of troubleshooting on the phone, and then gave me an RMA for returning a device. I'm awaiting a new one.

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?

I have never had that problem yet so can't really say. Have you tried different headphones with the same issue? If the other headphones work then it would the connector on you the headphone that doesn't that is the problem, probably a loose wire connection. I use mines with several different headphones and have yet to have an issue with it. And I do use it at least a couple of hours every day.

My story is almost identical: ear buds fall out when I'm running, these have been the only ones that work and I've been buying them for many years. If I was lucky a pair might last for a year before losing the sound in one ear, but sometimes it was only 6 months. Still, I was willing to pay the $8 a few times a year for headphones I could run with. My jaw dropped tonight when I came on the site for a replacement pair. This is definitely outrageous. I think Sony realized that there is a small but faithful group of people who depend on this style, and they're hoping we're desperate enough to take the hit to our wallets! This could have a hugely negative impact on my exercise regimen...

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.

I am so glad to read this! I bought my son a nano last year, and have returned it three times. It needs returned again, but I'm positive it's out of warranty now. The issue is that it randomly stops playing some songs - his library went from 250+ songs that would play to less than 50. This has happened so frequesntly that we're thoroughly disgusted. The 40G iPod video we have has no such problems!

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.

My headphone never worked right out of the box. I have to say that I opened the wrapping after 1 year I purchased it. So I did not even have the warrantee covering anymore and even if it was brand new Plantronics did not do anything about. I will not buy anything from them. If you do good luck!
