    Head phone problem.

    Lo, i have gone through like 60 squids worth of head phones in the last 6 months. Everytime i get a new pair after a short periood of time, one of the ear phones stops working, It's the same one everytime, anyone got any idea why?

    Sounds funny, maybe the sound card is killing your headphones?

    I just use a plantronics DSP-500 headset

    Are you talking about computer headphones or ones you use with a portable mp3 player or something ?

    I use computer head phones yeah. They work if i have my head in the right place, but from experience they die completely eventually. I took the last pair apart couldnt find any loose wires or anything.
    Any other ideas?

    its happened to me a few times. i still have a dodgey pair. I THINK it is actually something to do with the wire. i used to move the wire, and get both earphones working, then i'd catch it and then one (right hand one i think) would give a kinda of crackle and stop working. i dont actually know what caused it or a cure.
