A:AnswerNo, the I phone head phones are not wired like most headphones. Due to the wiring the microphone and sound receiving wires are backwards from a normal set of head phones you would buy.
A:AnswerHonestly, the mike is flexible and easy to put into position but it is staticky. I can't say all headsets will be staticky but I exchanged the same item twice before I switched over to a different headset that works so much better. It can be sturdy but I've had sturdier headsets that work way better. This is good for the price but I can't say it will last you for a long time. It does have a tendency to fall off your head if you move around often and the mike flexibility does seem to be a problem at times.
A:AnswerCouple of solutions here. If you are on an Xbox One or Xbox 360 it could be either the female insert on the bottom of the controller or a bad headset (headset adapter as well for the Xbox one) hard to tell from your question. I hope this helps you! I work at GameStop and I personally have had this situation numerous times
