    I recently broke the audio mini jack in my P-6860fx... And yes, I could easilly be the most clumsy dude ever to post on this forum!

    Is it still possible for me to my Sennheiser headphones, by buying some sort of adapter in order to take advantage of the optical sound?

    Thanks :D

    First I just want to know how you broke it? From pressure? Just wondering cause Ive fixed a few car stereo unit auxiliary jacks by re-soldering wires to their appropriate positions

    I broke it accidentally pulling the cord while it was plugged in. Happened 5-6 times, some of them were brutal... So finally it snapped :p

    What should I get exactly as a replacement?
