Has anyone experienced the headphone input jack solder joints coming loose? Mine worked great for a couple of weeks until that happened.

It broke very quickly from pushing the headphone plug too hard into the jack. I popped it open easily with a small screw diver and found out the jack was held onto the circuit board with minimal solder (to be expected for such an inexpensive device). I place the jack back onto the circuit board and glued it in to the case/board with a little epoxy and now it works fine.

Hasn't happened to me, and I've used it a fair amount for several weeks :> (but yeah, for so cheap, maybe I just got lucky)

Definitely not kidding. I had a slight problem with the J2's (the left earbud wasn't getting full range, weak on the low frequency) and emailed them. Within a day I got an email back answering my question and shortly thereafter (after trying to solve the problem myself) shipped a completely new pair. Which coincidentally work very well.Hope it goes as well for you!

I have the same problem. I had to go back and use my long cord earphones because of that. Let me know if you find out the warranty. Thanks - Kendal

This happened to me as well. After doing some research, and not wanting to fiddle with all kinds of software solutions or return the unit, I bought a USB sound card. Amazon sells the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage micro for $29.99. I just downloaded the driver from their website and "bam" all my headphone problems are solved. Not only that, it also boosts the sound volume and quality remarkably. The other great thing is that your headsets will stay put. i found the Asus headphone jack to be incredibly loose. Hope this helps

Er, Would you please describe it more clearly? It always working with buzzing sound, or sometimes, or frequently? How your headphone works without amplifier, buzzing or not? Have you ever tried to change another adapter?

I discovered similar issues with my recently purchased HA400. It was the headphones!!! Not every headphone, but the type with microphone built in, designed for use with phones. It seems that some (all?) adapters do not correctly place their internal contacts for the special plug that comes with these headphones. Instead, the signal is shorted out and makes it appear that the amp is broken. Happened to me until I figured it out.

Yes...actually....but I have not had any issues. What was more worrying for me is the fact there's no warranty in the US so if there's an issue, you can either go back to the store you bought it at or accept the fact there's no support and buy a new pair of headphones.

Anyone out there have issues with the earphone jack? They sent me a replacement and this jack also refuses to work.

thanks a lot sga, i have a samsung too along with some old logitechs that are plugged in now with the headphone jack. i was looking to upgrade to these though because the sound quality just isn't doing it anymore.that was my main concern too; whether or not the headphone jack works so again thank you.

I thought it was just me! I got my pair in summer '07, and they failed less than a year later. I had them replaced via Shure, and now the replacements have failed again. I don't use them excessively - they just seem to wear out. Other than the high probability of failure, these headphones are awesome.

Swap/verify headphones, check all things and visually inspect anything you can including wiring or soldering or anything that would look out of place or worse, missing. Then make sure all levels are turned up. None of that works yours is broke.

no this is not a known problem. However the wires after around 2 years do fail forcing you to buy better higher quality cables. Return them back or just buy new cables. I would be more pissed at Sennheiser about the wires but the cans just sound sooooOOOoo good that I could care less and ponied up the cash for some good wires.

I wonder what your source component is and if possibly your converters are somehow not "playing nice" with the HiFiMan transducers.; I am into year 2 with mine and after 200 or so hours of break-in the mids and low end have opened up along with the soundstage but only positives have happened, nothing negative. (I am using an Oppo BDP-95 running via XLR to a Teac HA-501-B headphone amp. ALSO, it may be something is loose inside the cups that is resonating. I can honestly say other than not liking the way my cables attach, I can find very little to complain about regarding these cans. Good luck! Cheers! Marty G

Hi Kathryn K. My headphones worked well for about 6 months. Then left side start being mute, if I want to hear from it, than I have to tap it few times and then it works for a while and then it will mute itself again. To expensive for these kind of problems. But I guess it is to late to do something about it.

Good question. My head phones arrived broken, also. Because I am so hard of hearing I was not aware of the faulty head phones. Finally, a friend told me they were not working and it wasn't my hearing to blame. Sorry I can't help with your question, but if you do find an answer, please, pass it on.

You have to make sure they go all the way in, if you push it and it still has a gap, it sounds crappy. You will know they are in there if you think you broke the headphone jack in the process.

I'd like to know the same. It happened to me exactly you described and my headphone only plays on one side and it's very disturbing to have to fixed it every other stroke. If you find that out let me know. Tks Claudia
