Audio plays through one ear only when cable coming out of jack is bent? (Logitech G330 & Tritton Kunai)

[HappyHambo]

I own two pairs of headphones (Logitech G330 & Tritton Kunai) which only "work" when the cable which comes out of the audio jack is bent in a certain direction and when it does work it only plays through the right ear? I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem is and if anyone knows a way to fix it?

Please help!

Sounds like the socket is broken. Is the socket built into the case or on the back of the motherboard. Either way you will need to use another socket.

I'm not sure that that is the case. The Kunai's don't work on my laptop, Xbox or phone.

Do either headset work on other devices?

No, they both don't work on my phone and both don't work on my laptop.

If they don't work properly on any device then they are broken, fairly common for one side to stop working when a wire or plug gets damaged
