Headphones for Microsoft Surface 2

[Montgomery Badleford]

I've bought a Microsoft Surface 2, and the only problem I have with it is that it doesn't come with headphones, and my Nokia Lumia 925's 3.5mm headphones don't seem to fit. Can anyone recommend some headphones (better if they don't need to use my USB port)?

That's really strange, they should fit...

I found my Surface 2 headphone jack to be a bit tight.

I have several pairs of different headphones and they all work. Perhaps you just need to push harder. I find some gadgets are a bit resistant, at first. And. the slight slope, on the Surface, can cause an issue if the plug is a bit short.

They "work", but they do not fit very well, no matter how hard I push. If I move the tablet too much, they get easily unplugged.

I bought the Nokia Purity Pro headphones (in yellow) and they work flawlessly with Bluetooth. Plus they are capable of being paired with two devices. I have it paired with my Lumia 920. The headphones aldo have a 3.5mm cable in case the battery dies, but I haven't checked if its tight on the surface 2 jack.

I suggest that you try another set of headphones (borrow a pair). If they don't work then you, probably, have a faulty jack.

Every headphone that connects to a 3.5mm headphone jack should fit. My thinking is that your headphone jack is faulty.

Yes, I am starting to think that may be the case. The headphones fit perfectly in my phone, but not in my tablet. I guess I'll just have to go bluetooth.
