Thank you, some with some common sense. No offense to the guy who thinks KOSS are high quality, you can get those at CVS. The only thing that matters here is that it is an audio output jack that was designed for 3.5mm headphones, or what ever you want to put in it that has a 3.5mm size. You can't get Sennheiser $100 HD headphones at CVS. I got them on sale at CompUSA, I believe they where on sale for $79.99 I tried around 6 different headphones and 3.5mm acessories, no dice. It has absolutely nothing to do with the acessories. If I find a pair of Koss headphones that makes the problem go away temporarilly, how the hell am I going to play the MP3's on my SD card on my 1200 watt Onkyo system that feeds 7 speakers and 3 12" powered subwoofers, and if anyone thinks over 2000 watts of high end audio equipment is overkill, don't bother complaining. That's what I enjoy listening to, if that's not what you like, terrific. Point is yes there are other ways to do it but I'm holding a $600 smartphone that has a 3.5mm jack that keeps going bad. Its a design flaw period, I can buy a $5 MP3 player and never have the same problem, but everytime I get a new Droid, eventually it goes bad, if it was the very expensive acessories I was using all along, when I got a new Droid the problem wouldn't show up again 3 months later with a loose jack, crackling and loosing audio on one side, or making the microphone you use during a call only work if I have the headphones plugged in. There are multiple problems this design flaw causes and anyone with 15 mins to spare can talk to your Android phone and do some reasearch on Google. I just love how some people like to argue about a problem they don't themselves experience and haven't spent anytime researching it. Think before posting something that you know doent make sense. There's no reason why I shouldn't be able to use my $600 piece of fabulous technology, with only a set of Koss headphones. This issue is rediculous, Verizon should either fix the problem, or discontinue the device. I'd be willing to bet money when I get my DroidX I won't have this problem.
