iPad mini Earpods not fitting into iPad mini headphone jack?

[geekon2wheels]

I really can't believe that Apple would have missed this, but has anyone else been having trouble fitting their Earpods into their iPad mini's headphone jack? I just purchased my pair yesterday, and I notice that they don't fit all the way into the jack, so that the sound keeps coming out of the speakers instead. The jack is slanted, which prevents the headphone cable end from going in all the way.

Am I doing something wrong here (I tried applying pressure, but it's really the shape of the jack which causes the missed connection), or did Apple really miss this???

Are they Apple's official earbuds?

I have some and they fit into the headphone jack of my ipad mini.

Any 3.5 mm headphones should fit into the headphone jack which is on the top left hand side of the mini.

They fit perfectly in to the mini headphone port, use mine daily. Check the headphone port.
