Well, I have a pair of ear buds, and it seems that the left channel isn't really receiving anything, unless I push the ear bud plug far backwards. I'm not a tech person, so this is really hard to explain, but I'm assuming that you guys have run into this sort of problem before. Really, I can't stand listening to one channel, especially being a fan of a form of music that uses the two channels separately a lot, and I hate listening to music with the left earbud popping on and off, that is unbearable.
If any of you guys know what I'm talking about, I'd appreciate a bit of help. Thanks if you can. -------------

| sounds like a broken wire- either in the cable or at the connector- are they expensive? If not throw them away and get another pair. |

I don't think it's a broken wire, because if I push it towards one side while it's plugged into the iPod, then sound comes through the left channel. Of course, what do I know about stuff like that?
I probably should get another pair of headphones. -------------

| Are you pushing at the plug on the ipod or the ear bud. If you are pushing at the plug in the ipod, it's the jack within the ipod- one of the contacts within the ipod has lost its spring tension and is not connecting to the earplug jack. This is a simple matter of retensioning the headphone jack contacts within the ipod- assuming you can get to them. |
