What is wrong with my headphone jack?

Is it that the hole is too big or the headphone jack is too big?

They seem like they fit, but then it pops out :(

Actually, now that I look, it seems like the headphones dont go in all the way… There is a bit of metal exposed after I put it as deep as it can go. Weird.

You could try wiggling the headphone prong gently side to side to widen the contact point inside the input. No promises that it won’t potentially damage something though. It’s an old trick I used on my ancient walkman. Or, it could be that the jack is meant for bluetooth headphones, which are smaller by a smidge.

Have you tried using the line-out jack instead of the headphone jack?

You need but two things
To solve this problem

Holy crap.

Turns out I just wasn’t pushing hard enough. I pushed harder and it popped right in.

Welp, this is embarrasing 0_o

Hopefully people as stupid as me will be able to read this to see the error of their ways :P

Sorry, @Arp – they will probably follow @Fred931‘s advice without hearing it.

I wish I could help. I don’t know jack about headphones.

@the100thmonkey But my advice makes you look reekish.

@CyanoticWasp I hear you man, me too.
