Hey guys.
This has been an issue for a while, but I'm starting to get pretty frustrated about this. Been having trouble with some Sony MDR-7506 headphones. Not quite sure how much they were as they were a gift for x-mas (I guess a quick google could help heh), but I know they're quite expensive. While the quarter inch headphone jack extension for them works fine, the 8th inch jack, which is the one permanently fixed to the end, seems to be fairly worn and doesn't work right. I do use these for drumming whenever I drum, and for mixing audio when at the computer. It seems to me that unplugging it from my ipod all the time has damaged them though. Whenever I use them, I need to rotate the jack until it gets to *just* the right spot, and it can't move even slightly, or else audio will only come from the left ear. You'd think with some high end headphones they'd be able to outlast my casual headphones right?
But yeah, point is, I'd really like to stop this from happening, so any advice would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
