Does this happen to anyone else?

6 Comments

When I turn my headphone's plug a certain way, I will not hear sound in both ears. If the connector needs to be in one specific location in order to function, why wouldn't they make the connector square instead of circular? Makes no sense unless this only happens to me...

    This is not normal, but it does happen. Perhaps there is a bit of corrosion on the plug or the socket. You can clean the plug with a bit of WD 40 and insert into the socket with the WD 40 on the plug a bunch of times and see if it helps. If not, try another set of headphones. If the same thing happens, it's a fault in the socket, if not, it's the headphones. Good luck.

    I have this problem right now, those cables tend to "use up"... One of the plugs make a buzzing noise if I don't bend it in a certain way and the other does exactly what you have described.

    Perhaps the connector is defective?
