Clay,


On your K3S, did you try plugging into the rear phones jack?  You can do 
that without any  1/8 inch to 1/4 inch adapter.

The resistance of each earpiece should be easy to check with your 
ohmmeter and be revealing if there is a cord problem.  The left channel 
(tip) should compare with the right (ring) unless something is open or 
shorted.
