Default [Q] headphone issue

Received my rezound last week, and today I decided to go running with my rezound. Plugged in my headphones (Skullcandy) and noticed only my left headphone would work. I thought it could be the phones, so I plugged them into my fiancee's ipod and they worked perfectly. I tried switching roms to see if that would make a difference. It did not. Is it a fairly common issue? anyone else having this problem?

Thanks
Drew

If sound is coming from only one side then most likely one of the leads is not making contact. Ensure you pushed it in all the way. If still not working call Verizon for a replacement phone as its possible that the contacts in the headphone jack are messed up.

Just so you know, I have skullcandy earbuds and on mine, there's another 3.5mm jack up by the middle of the cord. This connection on my headphones causes an issue with different outputs. Speakers on my computer only put out to one bud, but if I mess with that jack and pull it out about halfway, I get both buds working.

Just make sure you 'isolate the fault' by using different headphones on your old phone, also. Could just be coincidence that when you plug your 'phones into your Rezound, they short out.
