Hi Fuggedaboutittt,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're hearing a static noise when you connect your headphones to your iPhone. I know it's important to ensure your accessories are working properly and I'd like to help. I'd recommend working through these steps and checking for the issue after each step:

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 headphones don‘t work with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you continue to have trouble, I'd recommend testing a different pair of headphones, if you haven't already.

Let me know if you experience the same behavior with more than one set of headphones.


Best Regards.
