    i got a set of savage headphones recenlty which are pulled in and out of mp3 players, md players, hi-fi's and computers every minute
    i need some kind of a sacrificial lamb to go between the audio source and the headphone otherwise the jack on the headphones will wear down really quickly any ideas
    plz give links
    thnaks lads ;)

    well, you could get yourself a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adaptor, plug your headphones into that, and then use a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adaptor on the end of that. This would mean using 2 adaptors though, which would be a little bulky but would certainly keep your 3.5mm plug on headphones from wearing down.

    A small 3.5mm extension cord should be fine, you'll get one in Peats or Maplin's or something for a euro or so. DO the jacks wear down, tho? Never seen it happen...

    I'd say he means the surround where the wire goes into the plug, i had id come loose on 1 or 2 headphones before
    I got a short wire with a 3.5mm female to 3.5mm male stereo jack with my mp3 player which i think would work for you. As mentioned before peats or maplins would have them.
