Well I've had my latest Ipod Touch 2g for just over a year ( Warranty just ran out ) and my Ipod is starting to break

Here's the problem :

When I plug my earphones in and play music ( Any song ) the left earphone will sometimes quieten or lose sound all together, at first I thought it was my earphones that were broken, so I found some others and they did the same. Being curious I went and tried my Skull Candy's and they did the same, always the left. I finally today plugged into my sounds system downstairs today to blast out some music while writing an essay and it would sometimes quieten like the left earphone would. You can make the sound come back by spinning the connection the the perfect position but this isn't practical when it's in my pocket or something

It is definitely the Ipod and I have heard other people with this problem, is there any way to fix this or am I just going to have to keep hating Apple and sell it and buy a useful and reliable Media Player?

Thanks

Looks like it can be replaced, but not easily. The headphone jack is available from Rapid Repair for $39.99. I was unable to find a guide for replacing it, and the headphone jack is soldered on, so you'll probably be better off buying a new MP3 player.

I will be honest, an Apple product isn't worth my time and effort ( and cash ), I guess my new found full blown hatred of Apple has begun then

Any good suggestions of a new player?

    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol

    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

    Better than tree fiddy

    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html

    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.

    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays

    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol

    I have the FiiO X1-ii, and love what it does, but the battery life is kinda ass and the sluggish, unresponsive menu makes me regret my purchase a little.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    has anyone here played botw randomizer for switch?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    (not the wii u version, specifically the switch version)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Frankly not. That's like a 'cheat engine' for BoTW, right?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    good morrow

    I love Gundam but seed is not among my favourite series. Great gundams and soundtrack, but the characters... Ugh
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Still better than the latest trash like Witch of Mercury

    Damn, my play asia order will take a while.

    EU wants to tax all cheap purchases from Temu, Shein and so on an extra 2€ per purchase.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Portuguese Textile companies find 2€ low and want to tax an extra

    20€ per purchase.
