The headphone jack on my K2 went bad (no speaker audio) early on and I
had to replace it.

The reason it went bad was because I was using an adapter to accommodate
the 1/4" (large) plug on my headset.  Either this amount of weight
pulling down on the K2's phone jack, or (more likely) because the
"longer" plug (with adapter) could easily be moved sideways during
insertion/removal caused the switch inside the jack to go bad after not
very much use.

Since then I've used a headset with a 1/8" (small) plug with my K2 and
the problem has not repeated.
