Presumably your headset connects using a 3.5mm jack? Has your headset been tested with other Apple devices?


There are different wiring standards for TRRS connections - and your headset/adapter may not be wired correctly for iPad.


In general, there are three main wiring standards for 3.5mm TTRS connections - and they are not interchangeable:

  • CTIA (Apple)
  • OMTP (Nokia)
  • Camcorder AV
