My SRS iwow does not work anymore on my new Ipad Air.
With the special lightning connector for the Ipad Air the light of the SRS iwow does not show up any more.
What can be so difficult to make that device working????

SRS iwow + lightning

I heard from a friend of mine that Chinese products (it certainly will come from China) are not certified and cannot guarantee the correct working. On my friend's JBL speaker it did not work either.
I doubt wether this is a right conclusion.

What's not the right conclusion?

You have to learn how to read a little between the lines here.

It's fairly common knowledge that when Apple upgrades their OS, many things no longer function, let alone when they update their connectors.

But isn't that an old device?

It arrived long before the lightning update. No surprise that it stopped working if you look at the history of Apple compatiblity w/ third party accessories.

Have you tried the Apple support forums too(?)

Also, could you provide links to all the actual products you are referring to here(?) For reference purposes, so we can be 110% certain of features/compatiblity, etc.

Answer

Try Bongiovi DPS or CanOpener.

These are two apps for iPhone/iPad that work in similar ways to SRS iWOW. I used to have SRS iWOW on my MacBook Pro but it was really unreliable and crashed all the time or needed to be reinstalled. I've had much better luck with Bongiovi on both my laptop and my iPhone/iPad. CanOpener takes a little different approach that is specifically meant for headphone use.
