Brainwavz M2 with iPhone 3G: no fit?

Hey! So, I recently purchased the M2's from MP4Nation. I wrote them an email, but unfortunately I haven't gotten a reply, so I thought I'd ask here. My M2's do not work well with my iPhone 3G's headphone jack.

I have to really play with the headphone jack and plug to get proper sound. Usually, the vocals are cut out; but, in about 3/4 of rotation, there is absolutely no sound whatsoever. The "best" position is with the "45" degree end pointing towards the back of the phone. They are brand-new, too; never used. It happened the very first time I plugged them in.

I know the original iPhone had a recessed jack, but they fixed that (right?) in the iPhone 3G. Are there any M2 + iPhone 3G users out there? Is this supposed to be like this?

Thanks in advance,

~Ibrahim~

Have you tried the M2's with any other device to see if there's a problem with the headphones or your phone? Do u have a case on your phone?

My son uses M1, M3 and B2(don't have M2) on his iphone 3gs all the time, never have problem though, maybe you should try the M2 on other device to see if it's the problem from your phone.

There is no known issues with the M2 with any iphone gen. Check the M2 with another soucre device, if it works fine then your earphone jack on the iPhone may have an issue.

@all

Thanks to all of your replies. I tried my M2's in my laptop and they worked perfectly. I didn't have any other iPhones to be able to test the M2s there, but admin's reply made me think that it probably was my iPhone.

I noticed the headphone plug didn't see very flush with the iPhone, so I took out my trusty flashlight and saw this wad of something inside my headphone jack where you should be able to see the white (or red) moisture detection dot. I grabbed a needle and fished out this little sucker:

Now the headphones sit perfectly flush and my sound is perfect!

I can twist any which direction and the sound is perfect.

Thanks for the information, guys.

Much appreciated,

~Ibrahim~

Good to hear! Looks like it could have been some pocket-lint that got it, maybe you need to clean your pockets more often
