Bose headphones and adapter

You can find an adapter at Apple Stores and Apple's online store. It is made by Belkin and costs $10.

It is found on the left side of Apple online store, under the iPhone Cables and Docks section.

I hope this helps!

The Belkin one is huge, about 2 1/2 inches long. Spend $10 extra and get the Apple TTY adapter, which is much smaller and better looking.

Here's what Bose wrote me this morning:

The Apple iPhone incorporates a deeply recessed headphone jack that makes it incompatible with most headphones on the market, including Bose(R) headphones. Bose will soon introduce an adapter that will allow our headphones to be used with the iPhone. We do not have a time frame for when this will be available however.

I trimmed the neck of the jack and it works perfectly fine.

Use a pocket knife and slowly trip the extra bit of plastic on the Bose head-phone jack.

I would not recommend that. Yeah, it might work, but if you screw up, you could easily ruin a $100+ pair of headphones.

I did the same thing but used my dremel and then buffed the rough plastic down. Came out pretty nice and can't tell the difference between the old and the new. Fits perfectly and the square end of the bose plug can rotate freely with no loss of sound. I figured if I did any damage to the plug, I'd head to radio shack for a new plug and some solder to make a new end.

I had a pair of Sony headphones with a 90 degree bend at the jack that I can't use at all, even with the rubber dremeled away. The plug only fits with the bend pointing the outgoing wire toward the back of the iphone. Any rotation causes the plug to lift out.

Just trying to avoid buying an extension. I bought the iphone to carry less around - not more.

Just do what Macx2rule suggested, and trim the plastic. No mechanical aptitude required.

Yeah...I'm with everyone else in the later part of this conversation. I don't see how you could screw up the functionality of your $100+ headphones unless you have parkensons or you twitch...A LOT

Sweet .. Thanks for the MacGyver Tip... NOt only does it work Great....

I don't have to pay these <edited by host> anymore money to get what should've worked from the get go... TO WORK.

Thanks again.. Have a great summer ( whatever's left of it).

The Apple TTY Adapter is for hearing impared equipment. The female end of hte TTY Adapter will not receive the conventionaly 3.5 mm mini jack. The Apple TTY Adapter will not work with the Bose.

The only problem with the BOSE headphone is you cant answer it with out removing the phone from its holster. Theres no MIC or button to answer or end the call.

I bought the Shure headphone adapter and it is great it has a mic and play pause button at the Apple store and you don't destroy the headphones. I use my shure headphones with it and it works perfectly. The only thing is its $40.00 which is a lot for an adapter but its a really long cord and worth the money. I am going to stop rambling on about this so I don't have everyone bored out of their minds 😉

Hope this helped somewhat

Whats the model number?
