so a few years back my 5G ipod vid headphone jack broke, i replaced it, it broke again within a few weeks. that and my phone breaking caused me to get an iphone. about 6 months later the Jack on the iphone broke. i brushed these experiences off as planned obsolecence, so I started researching alternative methods of routing signal to my headphones without using an apple headphone jack. I decided to get a ibasso t3 and run through the Line out. (the difference in sound quality was UNREAL) but now both of the Jacks on the Ibasso are supper sensitive. it works, but you gotta play with it a bit. I was just wondering why this keeps happening to me? I do use my setup almost everyday while walking, skating, and other activities, but I have never really fallen on it or caused any other serious trauma to the jacks. is there a company that makes headphone jacks known for their durability? my ibasso is still under warranty and the guys there told me if i wanted to send them different jacks they would install them for me, otherwise they will just replace them with the same kind they already had.... i just REALLY dont want to deal with another faulty Jack again. any ideas?
