I have an iPhone 8 Plus with Bose noise cancelling ear buds and have the exact same issue. I was going to return it for a Note 8 until reading this solution. And yes, turns out if I hit the volume up on my controller it gets rid of the click. You do have to do it every time you plug them in but it beats a blank. Thank you.
I have the same problem with the clicking noise but my earbuds for the iPhone 7 will also skip and pause/play tracks randomly
Ive found that if I wrap the earbud wire along the phone lengthwise, holding the part of the earbuds that connect to the phone still and tight then the noise won’t occur. It’s not a permanent fix but it gets the job done. I hope apple can fix the issue
Remove your adaptor, close all your apps, connect your 3.5mm headphone to the adaptor, then connect it to your phone and in the end ipen your music app. For a few second you may hear a click but it will finish. Trust me
I think I just found a solution for this just now as I had the same exact problem. My headphones are Samsung with volume controls/remote build in. After reading the above response once I plugged in the headphones with the adapter I started clicking the headphones remote controls up and down several times. And the annoying sound stopped. But you have to do it each time you plug the headphones in. I'm listening on them just now and as annoying as it is this simple step seems to be solving the issue.
Dude! I cannot thank you enough! Thank you! I recently got myself an iPhone 7 Plus, plugged in the headphones and I was hearing that audio on/off clicking sound. You're method works! But after doing several testing, the fastest way is not fiddling with volume control. Just hold any vol control either + or - and the clicking noise should disappear instantly.
But still, none the less your insight was accurate!
Thank you. It worked on my BOSE noise-cancelling earbuds as well. Your answer is perfectly helpful and politely circumspect with regard to the authoritarians at APPLE who should have fixed this by now. Best regards.
I have the same issue. I also use the wired controller to kill off that popping noise. Sad
Having the same issue..
ridiculous it completely ***** any chance I have of listening to music it’s beyond annoying... fix it Apple this shouldn’t be happening still..
I had exactly same problem with Bose QC20 and the hack works well.
However volume control buttons not working to me after :(
How it works for you?
Thank you soooo much!!
Omg it works! You’re a lifesaver! I bought a new cable thinking it was my old cable being faulty and I almost wasted my new JAYS 😭
The other issue is that once you do that the Volume buttons of the headphones do not work
I have a PS4 headset I bought today with a 3.5mm connector and it still skips when I twist it in the IPhone 7plus adaptor.
I have the same problem with samsung handsfree, and the clicking sound is solved my the volume bottom. But still the mic doesnt work!! How can i fix this
Your reply regarding the volume controls on the earbuds was accurate. Thanks for your help, although it is annoying to have to smash the buttons a bunch of times to make them work, it is far less annoying then the clicking sound.
Hope a software update can fix this issue permanently soon.
iphone 7s i hear a constant clicking noise when i use the adapter the ohone came with... how do i stop this?
