The sound on my iPod keeps cutting out - I've tried different types of headphones but still the same problem
iPod touch
My headphones only cut out on my iMac. They work perfectly on iPad 2, iPhone6 and iPhone 6c. I have had them replaced by t he manufacturer but they still do it. I can't see how it is the headphones when they work on other devices.I have don an SMC reset and a PRAM reset to no avail.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself
Pocket lint is the culprit for me. I sharpened a thin piece of rigid wire and gently scraped it out, now it's fine
Try lining up headphone cord and iPod when plugged in.
I omitted to say that they are bluetooth headphones
