Was impressed, now disappointed....(Clip to Fuze)

When I use a player with a headphone that has a long straight plug, I don’t plug that plug directly into the player. I will plug a short Y cord with a right angle plug into the player, then the straight plug of the headphone  into the jack that is on the Y cord. In the Walkman tape player days before I started doing this, I broke some headphone jacks on portable players. Since I started doing this, I have not broken a headphone jack on a portable player. The right angle plug was devised as a solution for headphone jacks being broken on portable players. Unfortunately there are still many headphones that use a straight plug.When a long straight plug is plugged into a plater, it acts like a lever, and even a small amount of pressure on the end of the plug sticking out can be enough to start damaging the jack.
