Using headphones with ipad2

Personally, as a musician and someone who appreciates quality sound, I would definitely go with headphones or earphones that plug into an iPhone or iPad.

The sound quality is truer, more accurate.

Most average priced wireless Bluetooth speakers and headphones/earphones lose quality in the low bass and higher treble regions.

Only the more expensive ($250.00 and upwards) wireless Bluetooth heaphones/earphones and more expensive Bluetooth speaker systems will have technology in them that will compensate for the bass/treble loss over a Bluetooth signal.

Lower priced Bluetooth speakers, headphones/ earphones simply do not have this technology bulit into them so they can sell at much lower price points.

If budget is concerned, Wired headphone will come at many pricing points, but even some cheaply priced wired headphones/earphone will be superior in sound quality to cheaper, wireless Bluetooth offerings currently out in the marketplace.

My vote is for wired headphones/earphones.

Good Luck!

Your iPad uses a mini 1/8 inch (3.1 or 3.2 mm) headphone jack.

The same size headphone jack the Apple uses for their iDevice earphones.

However some over the ear headphone makers now include a 1/4 inch audio standard headphone plug adapter to use with other audio equipment that uses the 1/4 headphone jack/plug standard.

You need to read the description of these types of headphones to see of they come with both 1/8 audio mini jack and 1/4 audio jack accesory or compatibilty.

Good Luck
