Hi all,

If I push very slightly down on the connector, the music goes mono - does this happen to anyone else?

Cheers,

James

No, but my HPM-70 is playing up, if i knock the connector the sound from my left earphone stops working only playing in the right earphone, it's very annoying, piece of shite it is.

IMO the headphones connector is very poor quality. Didnt think about the concept that these headphones are going to be being plugged in and out many times a day? They obviously didnt. I can see the pins getting pushed in or being defective pretty easily. My flatmates USB cable provided with his K750 is fcuked already just from plugging it in and out over the course of a few months.

What im trying to get at is these things should really be made with durability in mind.

I was hoping that se would have improved the reliability of the connectors since the k700. Not too impressed with the port so far.

It is the shame that the new connector still inherits the reliability issues as the old one has. I have the same problem, the left ear sometimes dead- i must reattached the connector again. I think the connector pin need regular cleaning.

I have the same problem with my earphones, usb lead and mains charger. I think the durability of this new connector is terrible.
SE should have put a lot more thought and testing into this.

@ corny :

Yes. Mine goes MONO when you push the connector in towards the phone too. Bloody annoying!

Thanks all, that reassures me it is not an issue with mine, but am slightly disappointed in the product.
