Does anyone have a guide to replacing or fixing the jack.
Sound only comes out of one earbud (the left).
yes i've tried diff. headphones, does anyone have a diagram of a headphone jack so i know what to bend around?



Answer
Have you already tried using different headphones? Sometimes when headphones are going bad sound only comes out of one earbud.

What is a good brand of headphones to buy?

I want to get a nice pair of headphones. I mean the over the ear type, not earbuds. What is a good brand that has good quality? Preferably a reasonably priced brand? Please and thank you.


Answer
Good brands to consider are Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, denon, audio technica, ultrasone, akg, and shure.

in the $100ish range, i recommend the creative Aurvana Live!(sleek looking) or the philips citiscape downtown (these are stylish).

between 100-200, ultrasone hfi-580, ultrasone hfi-780, audio technica m50.

int the $200 range, the v-moda m80(stylish, just looks bad ass especially in person. ive listened to these and i can definitely say these will be my next headphone purchase when i have the money), or the sennheiser hd25-1 ii.

ill link to the m80's since i love them :)

keep in mind all the headphones i suggested above are closed headphones, meaning they wont leak sound and can be used in public. for open headphones for at home use, i suggest sennheiser hd518/558/598, akg q701

you probably already know, but dont get these brands:
BOSE: decent sounding but not for the price (yes, they have noise cancelling, but noise isolating is just as good and its cheaper since you dont have to pay for extra electronics and batteries.)
BEATS: all bad sounding for the price, its really just a necklace
SKULLCANDY: sucks mostly(except the aviators), but they are starting to focus on sound quality, the aviators are a good example of this.

the good brands i mentioned above also have their share of less than spectacular sounding headphones, so do your research!!!
the ones i recommended are the ones I've already researched since i'm a headphone nut.
