ipad headphone jack only plays sound in left headphone speaker?

The headphones work just fine, and I’ve tried with other earbuds/headphones too and they also only play the left. What can I do?

As described, depending upon your iPad model, either your built-in 3.5mm headphone jack - or your external Lightning/USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter - has a fault.


If you have an iPad with a built-in headphone jack, your iPad requires service:

Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple


A defective Lightning or USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter will simply require replacement.
