My 10.5in ipad pro headphone jack is too big. All my 3.5mm headphones don’t work

My 10.5in ipad pro headphone jack is too big. All my 3.5mm headphones don’t work, the port is clean without lint or anything. It will only work if I wiggle it around,
If anyone knows a easy fix or how much it will cost to fix I’d appreciate it.

I don't believe any iPad manufactured after 2015 had a 3½mm headphone jack. The port on the 10½" iPad is for a lightning connector.

You need a connector, such as the following from the Apple Store (U.S.):

All iPads currently have a 3.5mm headphone jack, including the 10.5” iPad - from which I pen this reply. It is rumoured, however, that imminently expected 2018 iPads may not be equipped with this connector.


If your connection difficultly exists because your iPad is in a case (that provides insufficient clearance to accomodate the headphone plug) then the Belkin make a simple, cheap, in-line adapter that is designed resolves this problem - Belkin Mini Aux Extender Cable:

In addition to many retail outlets, this adapter is also sold through Apple online and physical stores.
