The jack that plugs into my laptop fell off after six months. Is there a way I can still use them?.

Probably not any rational reason to attempt a repair given the time you'd spend mucking about at the task. These are quite inexpensive speakers. Jack and wire problems aren't uncommon with small speakers and headphones if only because the very small gauge makes these parts fragile. If I were you, I'd just order a new pair and then keep that fragility aspect in mind.

I really don't believe these are of great quality, not much else to do with them

not sure, that never happened to mine, but a loose connection could be the cord....can you find a new cord online somewhere?

I saw your question and removed the speakers that were connected to the output jack and plugged in a headset... worked perfectly.

Sorry It took a little bit to get back to you. You can probably manage a place to hook up your jack!!

The cables can be bought aftermarket, not a special Jack. Alternately, you may contact the company.

You will need an extremely light and flexible cord, and be willing to destroy the headphones attempting to open them up and solder. I did as much to my MDR-V600 headphones a while back, I was thankful I had a hot-glue-gun to fix the new wires to the wire-opening in the headset. And they did not have circuit-boards in them, it was just the speakers. Not a simple task, and your headset may have more then just a "R+, L+, Common" set of wires to replace. if it has microscopic "surface-mount" stuff, forget it, that can't be done with a stick-soldering-iron without killing the "SMT chips". Done that a few times. As for the cord, I found some speaker wire is soft and flexible for less then a year, then it gets stiff. Thinner wires tug to shreds easily. So good headphone cord is an impossible find as of this writing. I've resigned to replacing the cord on my MDR-V600 headset every six months to keep the speaker-wire soft and usable. At-least the MDR-V600 cord now survives being run over by my office chair on occasion. Best of luck, as that is All I can offer for advise.

I didn't have a problem with the connector. With my pair, one of the speakers stopped working altogether after only 6 months and the cushion on one ear popped off and was lost. I was really disappointed with these, especially considering the amount I paid for them. I have a pair of Bose. I'm really happy with the sound quality and they have a great warranty service. The customer service folks were always so helpful. I would buy from them again primarily because they have a no-hassle warranty service.

I checked. The only way to connect it is through the power jack and the "headphones" jack, which are pretty similar to the small headphones jack on a laptop or desktop computer. So I really don't think you can.

I wouldn't think a different computer would be the problem. Can you charge it from an ordinary outlet? If this doesn't work, I would call Audio and get help. They are amazing, friendly, and helpful.

Did you try ebay or even to write directly to JBL? They might just send you one if you tell them it broke

I had mine for 8 months before it was no good. With use the almost daily use with my laptop, the covering of the cord for the jack began to wear (maybe 2 mm at each end) away at the head of the jack and where it connects to the speaker. With continued use once I noticed this problem it lasted one month before the exposed cord frayed and speaker no longer worked.Beyond this problem I loved the speaker. It was compact and easily portable, held a lond charge and the sound quality was good.

that is a great question. Which i don't have an answer for. But if you want a way to do it that i know will work... just a simple audio patch cord will work. 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch.. one end to the speaker the other end to your laptops headphone jack.

Honest answer? By a decent adapter. I would bet the fail rate on these is extremely high. Mine died within six months as well

My cord broke too. I need to send mine back to the seller. If you were to get a replacement cord it would only break again.

There is an auxiliary in jack. You could use an Andriod with the proper cord

Sure- the replacement cable can be found almost everywhere; I was able to use the cables from my 2 mp3 players, which I believe are called usb to mini usb.
