This is the way I fixed my headphone problem.I went to Radio Shack and bought part number 274-141(comes 2 to a pack) In-Line Jack and cut the cord of the supplied headphones and soldered in the In-Line Jack.Works perfect, just plug in what ever brand you like to use. I didn't want to cut the end of the cords of my $100 plus phones. I like to use more than one brand.
