My headphones are acting weird...?

My headphones only translate the sound properly (From a DVD) when only half inserted into the jack? however they play music fully :S

Is this fixable? Thanks :)

    If these are headphones that include a microphone, it could be that the extra contact ring on the plug is the culprit, because your dvd player's jack only has three contacts, while your headset has 4.

    If these are just headphones without a mic, then it sounds like a problem with the jack you're plugging into, not the headphones. Try the 'phones in another device. If the problem goes away, then the issue is with the jack, not the 'phones.
