I bought a regular ear buds at Walmart but it doesn't work well on my ipad. Is there anything wrong with my ipad or the headset I bought is not compatible?

    Any earbuds with a standard 3mm jack should work. All of my old iPod and iPod touch earbuds work fine as well as several other brands that I have purchased.

     

    Did you push the earbud firmly into the opening? It takes a firm push to get them in all the way.
