How can I fix the earphone microphone that can hear music but cannot speak?

I can hear the music using the earphone but when it comes to talk its very like faint voice. When I tapping the area of microphone, I can hear it like the earphone is in good condition but the voice when I speak, my voice about to disappear unless I close the mic right in my mouth... So what can I do?

Hello naylilee,


We want to help get your microphone working as your expect.



If your headphones don't work with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch start with the steps here under:


• Check for debris, damage, or loose connections
1. Check for debris in the headphone port on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. 
2. Check your headphone cable, connector, remote, and earbuds for damage, like wear or breakage. 
3. Look for debris on the meshes in each earbud. To remove debris, gently brush all openings with a small, soft-bristled brush that's clean and dry. 
4. Firmly plug your headphones back in. If your iOS device has a case, remove the case to get a firm connection. 



• If your microphone doesn't work
1. Make sure that your headphones have a built-in microphone.
2. Check your microphone for blockage, like debris, lint, or plastic packaging.
3. To see if you need a replacement, try a second pair of headphones. If the second pair works, contact the manufacturer of the initial pair and ask if you need a replacement. If the second pair doesn't work, contact Apple Support.


We hope this helps.


Cheers.
