bangraman Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 The gold is there so that the plug's exterior doesn't corrode and result in crackling in the headphones. However it may be that you don't have gold-plated contacts on your headphone jack (or if you have used it for a long time, it could be that the plating has eroded off), which in turn may be corroded. This might leave a 'smoke' pattern on your headphone plug. You could take a peek at the contacts of your headphone socket using a flashlight and check for signs of corrosion.

AntiPod Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 it is normal wearing from usage, dont worry about it, but do remember to clean the plug with soft cloth once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
