EarPods with Lightning Connector: My iPhone SE won’t find my lightning EarPods

Fri, 06 Apr 2018 01:29:45 -0700

My lightning EarPods won’t work with my iPhone SE. They work on iPhone 7, 6s and 6 but not the SE. They are compatible with the SE.

Does anyone know anything about this issue? Any help would be great.

EarPods with Lightning Connector: Replacing/Repairing the Lightning port of the EarPods.

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 17:43:02 -0700

I couldn’t have described my problem anywhere else, as I was getting bizarre results for my searches.
The problem that I am facing is that the small metal piece(The part that goes inside the phone while charging) on the lightning cable broke and I don’t know what to do, I browsed how can I repair the jack or something like that, but the repairing involved some serious precision work(Clipping/precise soldering) and I don’t want to follow that currently, Meanwhile a thought came to my mind, but I’m not sure if it is even going to work or not?
I was thinking that instead of scrapping the plastic out and carry on with the soldering stuff, what I can do is maybe take a lightning charger cable(Official/alternate)… Chop it off and then connect the wires with my Earpods.
I wanted to know if it is going to work? If yes, then will I be able to get all the features intact? Like using Mic, Controlling volume up and down? Don’t lose the quality of music on my Earpods?

EarPods with Lightning Connector: My EarPods aren’t being recognized by any device.

Sun, 25 Feb 2018 22:21:47 -0700

They are the ones that come with the iPhone 7 and don’t have the conventional 7mm headphone plugin but rather the lightening adapter one for iPhone products. They are brand new and I’m not allowed to buy new ones and they aren’t being recognized by any device I plug it into. Help?

EarPods with Lightning Connector: Could I use Blue Tack to remove the ear wax in it

Fri, 29 Nov 2024 06:45:48 -0700

I bought a packet of Blue tack today and it advertises that I can clean keyboards so I was wondering if you can use blue tack to clean EarPods since you can visibly see ear wax

Update: after trying it out it mostly works. There is some still on the sides but using blue tack has good results for me
