My headphones are in 2 parts. One part is a volume controller with a regular headphone hole and wire that connects to my phone. The other part is just like your regular headphones that connect to that first part - volume controller. Volume controller jack hole is loose though! The male connector freely rotates and creates severe static noise. I want that noise gone. Its fine when the male connector does not wobble around. I tried adding foil in the hole and around the connector but that killed the sound.... So I took out foil and spit in the hole but my bodily fliuds are apparently not conductive... Once it dried - it worked again. I wish I could glue them permanently but I am not sure which glue and whether it will work because foil did not.

I think there is a sensor inside the hole and that is why foil method did not work..

They are the only ones that work for my ears and its important for me to fix these suckers.

It's called solder.

It is a stereo connection, so there are two contact points on it. That is why the foil did not work. Also, because of that, just gobbing in solder or some sort of adhesive would bridge those connections and kill your sound.

You'll have to find away to secure the plastic parts together where they join. Any kind of epoxy should work, but you have to make sure it doesn't get down into the connection or it could kill the sound again.

Unless 2 points of solder are carefully applied

Just get rid of the volume control?

If it's not a permanent inline connector, but one you plug into, then it can be replaced. My icemat headset had one of those. Headphones that connected to an extension cord with a volume control.

Of course, but I did say gobbing in solder. If he wants to take the time to solder two points then that would work as well. Much harder to do though and would involve having to take the connectors apart, which, in my experience, it very hard to do as it is just molded plastic.
