My bluetooth headphones are connected to my iphone 4s, but won't play music?

In the menu bar at the top it's a black B symbol, but when I go to play my music it comes out of my phone instead of my bluetooth headphones. It says that it's synced up to the headphones so i'm not too sure where I went wrong.

Apple have crippled the iPhone Bluetooth so it works with phone devices in cars etc but not to send music wirelessly.

Might be your Bluetooth doesn't support Music Play option. Ask your vendor regarding your Bluetooth functioning.

  • My normal headphones won't work after using Bluetooth headphones? (iPhone 7)? I've been using AirPods for a couple months now and the battery is getting pretty bad so I decided to get some plug-in Apple headphones but those don't work. When I plug them in I get a "not supported" notification. I've also tried friends headphones that worked fine on there phone, so I know it's not just faulty wires.
  • My iPhone won't play music with my apple headphones? My apple headphones work on my iPod but not my iPhone. And my non apple headphones work on my iPhone. What the hell? I tried restating my phone but it still doesn't work. I know my headphones work cause I can listen on my iPod. Has this happened to you/how do I fix it?
  • My iPhone won't play music when it's connected to headphones? I plugged in my headphones and tried to listen to a song but it wouldn't start playing. So I unplugged the headphones and hit play and the music came out of the actual speakers. Then I paused it and plugged the headphones back in. When I hit play it worked. I just don't want to have to do that every time I want to listen to music. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  • My iPhone won't play music through headphones? Hi, so about 3 months ago, my iphone stopped playing music through my headphones and only plays through the speakers, even if my headphones are plugged in: S i was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if so, is there any way i can fix it without sending it off?
