Question about Bose on-ear TriPort Headphones
It sounds like you have two problems. One is your ipod earphone plug ( phono plug ) needs replacing, and # two is your headphone plug needs replacing.

same thing happened here...my left earphone only works when jiggled. this is quite aggravating considering how much i paid for them.
how can i fix this problem???
My right speaker went out in my On-Ear Triports, and it comes back every once in a while for a few seconds if I move it. I've tried unscrewing it and checking the solders on the circuitboard but jiggling those didnt seem to work.
what else is there?
Over time, it seems like my connection has been pulled or pinched, or both.
As of now, I cannot hear anything if the wire in question is hanging off the headphones conventionally. I must take the bulk of the first male-to-female 3.5mm adapter (used to allow interchangeable wire sections, also male-to-female in nature) and rotate it until I find signal.
same symptoms no matter what the audio source. theres a fitting that fits into the headphones and keeps the wire from hitting the plastic. you can pull that out with a little force and seems to help somewhat.
Forget trying to get to the problem area. you'd have to break the plastic casing to get to it.
My wife used her on-ear triports for over 2 years now, her right ear stops working all of a sudden.. bur i also noticed she uplugs - plugs back in about 5 times a day or more..
over two years i am thinking the port is worn out on her alienware laptop, as well as the plug that came with the headphones...
when i plug these into my logitech THX speakers on my desktop.. I have no problems at all.
So mabe the headphones are more sensitive to lose connections? I naver had these problem with my over the ear bose headphones, i just had trouble keeping them from breaking.
