Plug your headphones only halfway into the jack.

Yet another brilliant argument for still using the 3.5mm jack

[746F7475]

Yeah, because people don't know how to mix audio plug your jack only half way in and risk it getting loose.

This is like if some guy was punching people on the street, instead of removing the guy you'd just tell people to duck.

It was a cross between sarcasm and a reference to a previous HN discussion on phones looking to phase out the 3.5mm

[746F7475]

Yes, I am aware, but I'm very much in favor of removing the useless jack. I have already transitioned into using bluetooth earpuds and headphones with my mobile devices and laptops, and I will never go back to cables.

This is "hacker" news after all ...
