Unhappy

My zune 30 has a problem with headphones. When I play a song, if it was divided into two layers, the music and the singers voice, the singers voice is always under the music. As in the music being louder than the singer even though its not supposed to be. But if I bend the tip of the headphones, then everything turns ok for a bit then goes back to being all wrong again. Do I need to buy a specific type of headphones? Thanks in advance.

Tip as in where you plug the headphones into the zune

I have the exact same problem just recently and I hate it. someone please help?

the wierd thing is, I have one of those tapes that you can plug in to your mp3 player and connect to a tape deck and I use it in my car. My zune still sounds fine in my car but that's the only place where it sounds normal. It has the problem in any headphones I try and even plugging into my PA system...

if you have the zune 30, check ur eq settings.

If not zune 30, then you might want to consider this: a headphone jack that connects to your sync port. for more info, go to http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/gen...ease-help.html

You know, I've actually ran into a similar problem. It had to be rotated a certain way to work.
Sadly, I never found a solution.

Your internal headphone jack is cracked,probably from a drop.The only fix is a new motherboard,about 80$.For now just put a good bend in those headphone jacks until you can afford the repair.I've had to do this for about 1 1/2 years now.It's already broke and I have to use my zune.

Yeah, I've had this problem with my 80.
It worked when I got new headphones.
Try it out.

Maybe like bend the headphones to the point where they work if thats possible (if they only work when in a certain position) and maybe tape them to stay there. Other than that I have no clue.

This happened to me too, I actually thought it was my Zune and got mad and just left my Zune untouched for a couple months. Later my mom asked if she could use my headphones and the next day she tells me theyre broken. Sorta good news now that I can use my Zune again
Get new earphones!
