On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.
How many actually use the headphone jack?
I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.
I used to use mine pretty regularly for some wired IEM’s and sometimes connecting it to my PC.
But a couple months ago, I put my phone in a bag of silica gel balls to absorb some water after it got wet.
Cannot recommend this to anyone else though… because those balls actually have roughly the same diameter as the headphone jack and one got completely stuck inside, making the port unusable. :(
turn the phone off and try fishing it out with a sewing needle. maybe 2 and try and chop stick it. i got one many out like this, happened to me frequently because i used to work in plastics.
Thanks for the tip! Im gonna buy some needles from the store tomorrow to try it out.
