I wouldn't be so concerned with this. I have had my K2 for 6 years without any problems with the headphone jack. 

But I have always been careful to minimize strain on the connector and for that reason I have always used headphones with an angled connector. After wearability, the angled connector is on top of my list for requirements for a K2 headphone. 

See e.g. picure of the connector on the Koss Portapro website: http://www.koss.com/koss/kossweb.nsf/p?openform&pc^pt^PORTAPRO which is what I use. By the way it is a comfortable headphone as well, no wonder it is the world's best-selling headphone.
