- Looking for simple ways to clean a headphone jack? You have come to the right place. Try these 3 easy ways to clean your headphone jack and drop us a line if it helped!
Air Can - Spray the air can three or four times into the headphone jack hole.
Q tip - Next thing I like to do is put a Q-tip in there gently. You'll see it's all fit in there and gently take that out and this should clean out most headphone jacks.
Paperclip Lint Roller - First, get a normal paper clip and a tiny piece of tape. (This method is a little more advanced, so be careful) Take a little strip of tape and put it on the bent out paper clip backwards, sticky side up, so it almost becomes like a little lint roller. Make sure it's secure and gently push the tape covered paperclip into the headphone jack. This should pull out whatever is remaining in there.

Rory - you can always read the desc, mine was blocked to
When doing the tape trick, start by wrapping it with sicky side touching the paper clip. Then fold and reverse rolling direction leaving sticky side facing out. Otherwise it can fall off in the phone, you can see in the video the tape is sliding off. Also turn off phone before sticking metal into it.
Didnt work for me.. must have patched it already
Downgrade the operating system
working fine with my cfw 4.84
Hahaha
didn t work on my iphone7
Lolxnn lol
Lolxnn lol
Lolxnn lol
How is that funny?
Jacob Owen cause there Isn’t a headphone jack on the iPhone 7...
The lint roller trick work. Took out a lot of lint and my phone got unstuck from headphone mode. Thanks!
What is that trick?
This is my first time commenting on a youtube video: I just wanted you to know your tape+paperclip suggestion solved my issue. There were compacted fibers (such as paper/laundry lint type) that got removed after a number of rounds of clearouts.
thank you!!!!
Have you commented more there after.....?
Thank you it works I used to hear scratchy noises but now I could hear it clearly
i know this isn't the point, but i'm obsessed and in love with this guy's hands.
Nicest DIY hands on TH-cam.
Thank you for your upload. I do not possess a can filled with pressured air.
10yrs ago and still valuable. Thank you
toothpick wrapped with tape worked like a charm...sound is crystal clear now...thanx so much !
You've just saved me from a music-less train journey. Thanks!
Oh wow! A train journey?
Sounds Great :)
Its from 11 years ago. Still it helped me today. Much appreciated mann ❤️
THANK YOU! I just went to a LONG process of getting replacements for a pair of expensive headphones, and all I needed to do was clean the jack on my phone. LOL
Idiot
Thank you. I was all set to give up on my Blackberry until seeing this video. In the end it was the tape/paperclip method that did the trick. Thanks again!
Oh
@@MadTy did it work?
@@siddhantmore6999 yup
@@MadTy it worked for me too 👍
11 years and 9 months it works bro u the best bro was going to buy another headphone but you saved me
I some how got a little tiny bead stuck in there, it fits in there perfectly and I can't get it out, how do I remove it ?
KRIAK2233 same i have like a hand towel ( kinda like toilet paper but it is for hands)
Thank you. That last tip was the only thing that worked for me. Next step was Apple Store after trying no less than a dozen other methodsThanks!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE MY HEADPHONES WORK NOW OMG
Edit: i dont recommend the air can thing but the q tip option works best
Yea the qtup worked for me to
Helping me out all the way in 2020. Thank you.
thnx for the tape idea
aahh dude thank you so much i was about to send my phone in for repairs but show this, and it worked thanks alot man
I did the q-tip and it's crispy clear sound now👍
the qtip thing did work indeed and my left side of my headphone couldnt be heard before and now i can hear it. love this video
Thank you I did that and my headphones work good now there's no static now I don't have to repair them I just have to repair my screen
this video was very helpful to me. I thought the headphone jack on my iphone was completly broken until I watched this and tried the paperclip thing. It works perfectly now! thanks!!
The toothpick I used worked miracles. I couldnt fit any headphone jacks inside my Itouch and sure enough it was just full of lint. Once I took all the debris out it was mad clean.
Is any liquid on the qtip ok? My jack has chocolate in it. (Emergency m&ms on a hot day within purse cause problems...)
Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) should be fine, but don't use water or oil. Probably best to turn the phone off before, just as a precaution
Alpha 2007 yes. at first it didn't work because it needed to dry out. it was fine the next day.
That is exactly why I'm searching myself! Haha amazing we must be synchronicity twins
I even remember it was a twix bar for me
Can I pour boiling hot water into into the jetport that Jack port I don't know what they call it the Jack the port for the jack I Don't know Jack about no plug holes all I know is I got chocolate inside my Alcatel inside the jackal
Followed this, more or less. Was getting sound in, but no sound out, on a plugin receiver I use to keep the phone away from my ear. (I'm sceptical about opinions that it is harmless having a transmitter capable of transmitting to a tower a kilometre away; jammed next to your brain).
It's working again now. Good vid.
Thanks bro, I think the tape and paperclip trick worked. It seems to be working now so there must have been some dust or something stuck.
My Bose desktop speaker headphone jack quit working properly, sometimes it'd work okay, other times I'd only get mono sound or only getting one speaker working. Blew inside of it & rolled a piece of paper towel up about size of q-tip & spun it around same direction I rolled it (as to not unwind it) & there was a tiny bit of dust some shiny (metal?) came out. Working fine now! :D
Worked for me after a few attempts.Tried qtip, qtip with rubbing alcohol, and paper clip with the tape backwards.
The paperclip and tape tip worked for me!!Happy that i don't need to buy a new phone ✌🏼😗
So I dropped my phone in the toilet, and amazingly, everything worked except it was stuck on headphone mode because there was something inside of it, I used a q- tip, and now I can here out of regular volume just fine, thank you so much!
I have a tiny rock in my head phone jack. Tried multiple things but it won't get out. It's wedged in pretty far. Any suggestions to getting it out would be much appreciated.
me too,how to remove it
it cAn be broken with force but fearing that it will damage jack
Kyle Turner same
Use lube
Yeet needle
This video is great, my phone stopped playing music but was ringing ok. I watched this video and when I went back to my phone it was already working, Good work guys.
Used Q tips and hand sanitizer to clean the jack...now working like ka charm.. Earlier the earphones would just pop out or volume would suddenly blast up. Now it's working fine ...
Does it work on androids to?
Thx so much for your help my parents and I are going on a long trip and I could not get my head phones into my phone so I was doomed so thx
Does it work with computer.
thanks the paperclip thing worked for me the best
thanks, it really worked! I tried the tape method and I guess the dust from my pockets/bag got in there but the tape took it out
Sir , if something is inserted in earplug hole because of my negligence so what should i do to clear the track ..... sugest me something sir i not able to use my earplugs 🙏 ... waiting for your reply .......
Thank you! This saved me a bunch of money!
Thank you soooo much!!! I would recommend this to anyone and this isn't just iPod jacks any phone with the same size jack will work, but thanks again for the video
thanks man.. the q-tip one worked fine
I felt hopeless until the very end of your video. When I saw the tape trick, I knew it was my last hope. I tried it, and as soon as I got done it worked. I just want you to know you're one amazing man. Thank you.
I can now hear my phone again without using headphones, thank-you! :)
Is this a Sarcastic response?
Ha millie Bobbie brown?
@Philosopher Cat so?
@Philosopher Cat I've seen 13-14 yr-old comments replying people. One of those, being me!
Just doing the compressed air fixed my GS3's issue. It thought headphones were plugged in when there weren't any plugged in (so I couldn't hear phone calls unless I used headphones). The compressed air fixed it.
An ant crawled into my headphone jack, does anyone know how to get it out ? I'm serious about this btw.
Well I'm guessing it's dead now..., so use any of these methods?
Miranda Lowks no but I think that happened to me too😅😅😅
Put a sugar near your phone place it on the table for 5 seconds... dont touch it, it should come out easily.
Furious Gaming After 2 years the ant will be dead 100%.. Or meanwhile he got a new phone.. :D
@@Zisch4Bumm haha
@GoGazelle i done it turned out it was just a load of fluff stuck in the jack thanks for helping.
Thanks for this! Fixed my media volume. If the cotton bud is too big to fit in your audio jack, you can just pull the cotton part off and still use it to the clean the jack out 🙂
I usually have my headphones in the jack but I took them out and they won't go back in all the way and when I search it up it says that there's dust but there is no dust!! I checked and it's making me really frustrated because I can't fix it!!!!
Can someone please help??
I got the same problem too. The only thing I can recommend (you may not like it) is get a new phone.
+Icey Wolf If it hasn't been fixed yet, it is high time you tried the steps in the video above, bro. The solution has been right above your comment this whole time! :)
Me too
for a time my headphones wouldn't play music loudly, but using this it helped I believe.
Will these tricks work for iPod Nano 7th generation? Can it work for every 3.5 headphone jack?
I put my headphones in and the headphones dont work i take them out and my notifications say headset is plugged in when its not what do i do? Plz
I have the same problem
Same
same
Bebi. Kai u can just use ur headphones cause if u plug in earbuds or headphones it works if not then it won’t work but at least u don’t have MUD INSIDE UR HEADPHONE JACK .-. I do.
The paper clip trick worked like a charm :)
Well I’ve just fucked my phone up llf because I used a fork to clean it out and now I can’t hear any sound
Problem: can't hear because headphone jack is broken
you're profile pic tho..... ;)

paper clip method worked perfectly thanks mate.
use a needle and double tape instead.. i did managed to get piece of paper out of my audio jack.. awesomee ^_^
From India
Thanks for the idea
Thanks it worked but scince i have an iphone 5 i needed to pull off some of the cotton but my beats were making static noises
thank you you just saved my life
asking a question does this work for my mac too?
My q-tip wouldn't fit. I pulled off the white cotton and carefully inserted small stringy strand holding onto larger end. Delicately rotated around and took out. Now my other side is working. - Thank you for the idea.
Using a Qtip and some tape is a bad idea. The Qtip will lose some cotton inside the socket, and as it's bigger than the hole, you'll have to force to make it enter, so it might damage the connectors on the borders. using tape induce the risk of it breaking and leaving some parts stuck on the connectors.
Use a needle or the end of a paperclip instead, and scrap the lower part of the socket until the dust goes off. do it with some light towards the socket to see what you're doing.
none of em worked howver i tried with a bare paper clip end , and easily took off the dirt. working properly now . thanks!
Thanks alot brother 🙏❤,there was a cotton particle in it
Thanks for teh vid. Helpfull and it worked. I used a skewer (toothpick) to pick at the gunk along with the Q-tip, wich was also usefull.
how would you clean the usb jack ? same way?
@jackransell I learned to just use an air spray and spray it out to clear it. Took mine to Appe store and the guy said there was a fraction of an inch of dust in my jack.
My issue is that the jack doesn't work when the phone is all the way in. When it's barely in, I must apply pressure on the sides of the phone jack and I can hear it clearly. Just got new phones and now I know they aren't the problem. Does it need cleaning, or repair?
Worked like a charm.
Is there anything else you can use other then that stuff you sprayed
didn't work for me. I was on my iphone at midnight and I fell asleep and it fell out of my hand into a bowl of ice cream for 4 hours and now it wont go off headphone mode but aside that its fine except for the power button being a bit sticky
now THAT is a great story! haha #sorryforthelaughing #andsorryforyourloss
My ipod keeps pausing everyting I move my headphone wire tugs just a little or moves. What do you think the problem could be? I know it has to do with the jack. I've cleaned it out and it still does it.
I took a q-tip and shoved it up the headphone jack and pulled it out and it worked fine. Try this at ur own risk. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE
YES YOU ARE! kappa
yes you are >:(
I plugged my headphones into my phone and no sound was coming out but when I took them out there was still no sound, and now no sound comes out of my phone at all. What do I need to do, and if I take it to a phone fixing place, will they be able to fix it.
this may sounds stupid but what is the purpose of air can? (Q-tip method)
My iPad was in the same bag as a leaking water bottle, and I think water got in the headphone jack! Will it still work?
I was helping that you might have the same advice for my Alcatel insight
Bro I cleaned it with that paperclip with tape around it ,it have created my headphone jack so sticky,how I clean that sticky thing now?
Try rubbing alchohol on a q-tip, the reason I say rubbing alchohol is because it evaporates a lot faster than water
The first one worked for me thanks
My headphones won't fit into my Macbook headphone jack. Like something is blocking it from going in fully. Advice?
zomg the q-tip thing worked!
@GoGazelle no, you should superglue a small dab from the left over metal to a paper clip. but make sure not to pour glue onto the jack itself.
Thanks for making the swab stuck in their
Oreoz LLOLLLL
My headphones randomly won't go into the socket anymore and i dont know why, what do you suggest i do?
Thanks a lot man I used the earbuds and it worked, respect + subscriber
:D
What if theres dried cookie stuck inside?
NCT in the house ,
Hahahhahahha yes it can be possible.
It actually works thank you
dont have a air can, can i just use a qtip?
Hi! i have a problem. I tried to remove the dirt inside but i think i wasnt very gentle... either i ruined something inside or i pushed the dirt further inside because, now nothing will connect to my iphone through the aux port... is there anyway to fix something like that?
my ipod wont play music properly from any headphones I think this is because the end bit of a headphone may be stuck in there. any tips?
@GoGazelle My iphone was basically submerged in Gatorade and got into the jack what do you recommend doing?
DAMN it!!! The tape got stuck 😨😱😰😩😥😵
My mobile's headphone hole can't lock my headphone's plug means plug is loose.. What I do?
