Headphones problem

Hi all,

I have some phillips headphones and I have been experiencing problems with the audio output. Everytime I plug my headphones into the headphone jack on my computer, the audio skips in between the left side and right side of my headphones and I always have to twist and turn the audio connector to readjust the sound output to both sides of the headphones. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I was thinking that it was a faulty audio connector on my headphones.

The cable is probably broken inside (if the cable moves too when u twist the connector). Try the headphones with ur mobile and see what will happen if u twist as u did on pc.

Just tried that, and there doesnt seem to be any audio skipping when I twist and turn the audio connector.

Then its time to buy a DAC/amp combo
