My continuing bad luck with headphones is getting to be pretty infuriating now that my latest pair (which I've owned for less than a year) is having serious issues.
I want to ask if anyone here has any idea how to resolve my problem. The issue seems to be something on the order of a crossed wire somewhere between the plug and the headphones themselves.
As it is now, when the plug is fully inserted the audio comes through as very tinny mono sound in both ears. If it is plugged in only partially it comes though more clearly, but again, as mono. In either case, the stereo sound is combined into mono, since both channels come through on both ears. I've already gone to lengths to ensure that it is a problem solely with the headphones, and for once, not a problem with the attached volume slider.
I would also be interested to hear y'all's thoughts on what is the most reliable set of headphones you've used. I'm getting really really tired of spending good money on what are supposed to be good headsets only to have them fail within a year.
