The switch in my headphone jack fell apart within a few months even though
the jack body was still firmly in place. I do use a small right angle plug
plus quite long light weight leads to an inline 1/4in jack, and seldom
unplug the headphones. IMHO the jack is too close to the AF gain control,
so my headphone jack is going to be moved to the back leaving, a hole in the
front panel for a LED - blinking about something. I'll look for a better
quality jack.

I was using a small phone plug but it still failed after about a year. I
use headphones most of the time so never took out the plug for the entire
time. When I was going to use the speaker I found the jack had failed.
There are so many headphones around the house with 1/8 plugs that I would
never need to use an adapter. I think it was a bad batch of jacks.
