A few years ago, I bought a Walkman radio to listen to on the bus. 6 months later it seemingly went dead. What the problem turned out to be was that the contacts in the female plug for the earphones wore out. You could get sound to work in at least one ear but you had to hold the wire to the canal where it would make contact.
This was a pain so I bought the successor model. Same damn thing happened a year later. More recently I bought a Sandisk flash mp3 player and after 11 months of use, the same thing happened. This is getting ridiculous. I now want to buy an ipod Nano 2gb but I am worried that the same thing will happen in a year.
It is certainly not a problem with the headphones I use. The one thing I think it may be is that the headphone plug is too big and rubs against the contacts too much. I believe it is a ridiculous theory but I have no idea what it could be. I have used this pair on and off with all three devices. I don't constantly plug and unplug them so I doubt that is the reason. Has anyone else had this problem with personal audio devices?
