All seem good with headphones but here we don't have your phone or headphone to test.
Workaround? A bluetooth headset.
I ordered the one noted today at http://www.cnet.com/news/5-deal-friday-dirt-cheap-games-sport-phones-and-more/
I have a Blu Life One 2015 that I use primarily for music. However, it seems to NOT recognize any earbuds or headphones at all.
I have already attempted to reset and clean out the headphone jack to no avail. It also seems to recognize the headphones for very brief moments (if I pull it out for a split second).
What could be the issue? I have no issue with getting a new phone (as I already plan to) but I would like to listen to music privately on my current one.
