I bought a new Dell laptop a few months ago. When I listen to audio, I usually use high-quality headphones, putting a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter on the end and plugging into the headphone jack on the laptop. I insert and remove the headphones from a couple of times to several times a day. Due to the way I work, I can't leave it plugged in all the time. The fit is a bit too loose. I have tried other 1/8" male jacks and they are the same. I think it has gotten slightly looser over time. I am concerned that it could become unusable. If it were to get unusably looes, I have no idea if it's an easy fix. The hole is molded into the laptop but there is a sleeve inside the hole; the jack fits into the sleeve. I think I will take it to Bestbuy now and see what they say but anyone had experience with something like this?
