Broken headphone wire. I had this a while back. Probably due to too much flexing and twisting.

Unplug speakers, plug in headphones. No, you can't plug them into the microphone port.


If that doesn't work, buy WORKING headphones.

Or the headphone being cheap.

I'm not criticizing you :P

When I bought a very cheap headphone (well they were really earplugs on wire on a sound plug), they broke a few months later because of the broken tiny copper wire near the earplug's magnet. I think the soldering was bad quality.

And i was too lazy/had no material to repair it, knowing that it was cheap (so low quality) and would eventually fail soon. But i still bought it because I am greedy. There.

My first MP3 player had a problem with the jack, so I only got sound out of the right ear. And then I broke the headphones so they only produced sound out of the left ear. =D I think just don't flex them around too much, they should still be fine. I've had these ones for a couple of years, and they're still working well.

QFT
I bought some headphones that were about 25-30 pounds and they're brilliant.
Comfortable and brilliant quality audio and had them for about 4 months and they haven't broke yet (which is very impressive considering how often I use them)

And joe, do you mean the headphones that come with the ipod?
They are very good (even though they aren't in ear), and i've got an extra pair now my new ipods arrived  :bigsmile:

Apple headphones suck. Really tiny bass, sand-ish higher frequencies, too much middle.

I have a military grade gaming headset that cost $40. The wires are hugely thick and well-protected.

I disagree, i'll agree that their is more middle but the bass isn't that far back if you ask me (although TBH I do prefer less bass), maybe it's just the album your listening to ;P

Anyway, usually poor quality headphones have far too much bass.

Not really. These headphones are just way too small to be good, hence the crappy everything-but-middle range. And it's not my sound card either (ESI Juli@).

Meh, when I was using them I found the adequate for my music, but i'll admit I always use my pair of large headphones for my guitar and amps.

Sounds to me like a dodgy connection.
If you move it around a bit it will probably fizz and/or cut out completely again.
