[ailee]

i have earphones and they worked fine for my ipod touch, but on my iphone, whenever it swivels a little the music will stop playing! is it because its recessed jack or is broken??
NOT EARPHONES* THE port/jack

i have non-apple earphones and they worked fine for ipod but they are very loose for iphone and stop working when i swivel it just a bit!

1st iphone btw

it depends on which iphone ones you have if you have the older ones then it will only work in that iphone but if you have the new ones they work in anything

you answered your own question,the jack for the iPod touch, in variation with the iPhone jack,is bigger and will not snuggly fit inside the iphone.

IPod earphones should work just fine on an iPhone. The only difference is that iPod earphones don't have a microphone, so you can't use them to call people. I'm afraid your headphones are broken. Any replacement headphones with a 3.5 mm connector (check the box) should work just fine--they don't even have to be made by Apple.
