Thanks for the heads up. Will avoid

Yes I had *exactly* the same problem with my 5.5gen 80gb iPod. You can send it to Apple, they will fix it for $250. Or you can do what I did, and buy a new OEM headphone jack from ebay (I paid $5.49 + shipping). It's very trivial to install. I'm happy to answer any further questions you...

I recently purchased a pair of high-end headphones, and I'm somewhat hesitant to use them with my iPod. Why? Well I kept hearing about how a certain firmware revision of the 6th generation iPod was damaging headphones, and this got me thinking. I've messed around a fair bit with my iPod...
