Re: VO issue while using wired earphones

I only have used the wired Apple earpods, but so far, VoiceOver is being sent to both earpods. I didn't even know there was a setting to send VoiceOver to one channel only, I will go look for it. I am using an IPhone 6. Arnold Schmidt Sent from Arnold's iPhone On Sep 22, 2016, at 6:46
