I recently dropped my laptop with the headphones still attached. The result was a broken headphone jack. My problem now is that there is no sound coming from the speakers even though the headphones are no longer connected. I have searched the Sony support website to no avail, they only offer solutions for a fee. Any info or insight would be greatly appreciated. : ) BTW the model number is VGN-AR720e, just in case. Thanks for the knowledge : ) Sasha.

I have a Samsung behold and I am planning to buy some noise cancelling headphones but unfortunately they have a proprietary headphone jack so I was just planning to get an adapter plug but I don’t know if that will ruin the point of having a good headphone (wow..long sentence). I prefer to use my phone as a mp3 player so I don’t have to carry two things at once. Any ideas on how the quality of the music will be affected or it really doesn’t matter?

I am looking to buy a new pair of headphones for my home studio but dont know which ones i should get. these are the ones i was considering from byerdynamic: DT 990 Pro, DT 880 Pro, DT 770 Pro, or DT 770 M? Or what are some other good headphones in that price range that you would recommend? also, this may be a stupid question but what is the difference between open and closed headphones?

I have BOSE tri-port 3 slim headphones which i got a year ago for 190 dollars. Is there other headphones that will give me better quality of sound. I mainly want more bass and clarity without a use of a headphone amp. I don’t care for skullcandy but the Hesh series I’m worried to try because I want through many pairs of skullcandy becausethey sound like junk.

My Skull Candy headphones have busted in the right ear and I wanted to get some new ones. I’ve considered a different type of Skull Candy, maybe on-ear, or the Beats headphones by Dre.

What are the best ones I can buy for the money I will pay?

I have a great lcd tv that has no headphone jack.(well, great except for no headphone jack) Is there anyway I can get headphones to work using the two (left and right) audio output jacks for external devices? Are there headphones with plugs made for this that has a amplifier built in? Or do I need to get some sort of device I can plug into these jacks that has a headphone jack in it?

Its just something i’ve always wondered. Whenever i’ve been on planes they have a socket with two pins as opposed to the single headphone jack that comes with other appliances like Ipods. So is there a reason for this or is it just so they can try and sell their own headphones?

I’m trying to find a good pair of headphones because I heard that earbuds can be a very great risk at hearing loss. So, my old pair was a clip-on headphone? I don’t need to find the same one as my old pair, but I don’t want earbuds. Any recommendations?

I currently use the regular iPod headphones with my iPod Touch, but I would like to get higher quality sound and have more comfort. I do not like headphones that are bulky and go outside of the ears either. I found some nice Bose ones, but they are $130. Are there any good ones that are more affordable?

i have about 150 and was wondering if you can get good headphones for that. i want over the ear headphones, i think thats what they are called.

What are some good headphones like that that will be loud, but not so the person next to me hears it TO loud.
