> The headphone jack just works

...except when you can't make good contact and you wind up with one stereo channel muted and you have to fidget manically to fix it....which seems to occur with every damn headphone jack on every device without exception.



Amen; I'm surprised more people aren't bringing this up. I like the idea of having a wired headphone connection to my phone and other audio devices but I don't like the 3.5mm TRS headphone plugs/jacks. Make it a magsafe-style connector or something that's immune from wearing out or bad connections and I'd be delighted.
