    Grado SR-60 headphone plug failing

    Hello, I have a pair of Grado SR-60s and the headphone plug is starting to fail, which I hear is common with them. What can I do to fix this? I wrote Grado and am awaiting a response but I don't have a receipt so I'm worried they won't fix them (wouldn't that be bull****!). Thanks a lot!
