The cable that came with my J3 doesn't work. It's too loosely fitting I think, because unless you press it ridiculously hard then it won't make the connection. Is there somewhere I can get another one? Kind of annoying to essentially have a bricked MP3 right out of the box, and I can't find anywhere where it's sold because there isn't really a name for it.

Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.

First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

A very all-round headphone for me. Just the right one to take on the go or on holiday. Also as a DJ, nice noice isolation. Very durable so you don't have to wonder if it will break if you throw...

This quick review is done after a few hours of listening. I bought them from B&H for the decent sum of 150$. If you've done your research you'll find out that Ultrasone HPs are known for their...

I auditioned the SRH-1840 straight out of the box, and was unsatisfied with the sound, so I decided to give them a period of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite differences...

J3 Cable doesn't connect...
I should add that I have to keep it pressed in a very specific position for the device to recognize that the cord is plugged in, but it still doesn't make the necessary connections to be recognized on my computer.

I had the same issue with mine when I first got my J3:
The connection port is a bit of a 'tight fit' when you first try it, requiring you to really force the plug in. The seemingly-loose fit is because the last bit before you get the connection is where the difficult part is. All you really need to do is use a bit of force (nothing too reckless, mind you) and it should 'snap' into place, giving you access from your computer.
I am an idiot, nevermind, This can be locked. I just didn't know how far I had to push the plug in.
That was scary though, I thought I was gonna kill my baby!

No worries! I was in a state of panic before I came to the same realization. The J3's connector is the most stubborn connection (that wasn't flipped in the right direction) of any device I've had to date!
I've had my J3 for several months now, and the connection gets easier to do.
