I can live with the laughable graphics and gimmick, but I just can't get over this...

+

Just don't mix.

The DS headphone jack is surrounded by plastic that makes it so the E3 1/8th inch plug won't fit into the DS all the way. I find this very shitty since I will not be able to fully enjoy the awsome soundtrack games like Castlevania will display.

This makes me sad

Just kidding about the laughable gimmick part. :3

 

[VOOK]

You Mean like the Electroplankton ones?

 

[Blackace]

those are man hands, baby..

 

[Xrenity]

What the hell.

My earplugs fit in perfectly. Castlevania has indeed got a brilliant soundtrack B)

 

[Deleted member 1235]

my headphones also work correctly with a ds.

 

[Juice]

What the fuck?

Mods change the title to "My one problem with my shitty earbuds"

[fse]

[Prospero]

The music for Advance Wars DS is so ace with headphones.

 

[Zeo]

Ugh, go away.

Yeah, that's a problem I've had as well. One pair of headphones I have just won't plug in completely, because of the plastic edge above.

 

[stinger009]

Yeah ive had this problem also, its annoying because it goes on and off ifi bump the plug or something.

 

[Matlock]

I bet they fit right in your iRiver.

[bobjuice]

Hey my dad works at Nintendo if you send me your DS I can have him exchange it for the all-new model that doesn't have this problem

also comes with an alanog stick attachment that's not going to be announced til February

 

[GeoNeo]

A simple fix for the problem is a male to female extension cable.

 

[Version 3.0]

Got an SP? Use its headphone adapter on the top port. Works fine.

 

[typhonsentra]

Hah, she has a new tag now. Never had one of those.

 

[Smidget]

Well I guess it's more of certain games fault but being left handed sucks a lot with the DS sometimes, especially Ultimate Spiderman and Venom's parts :/

Indeed. The quality of the music is AMAZING.

 

[teepo]

i can't believe the music in awds is getting praise.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Seriously, you guys need to listen to more videogame music.

 

[Cherubae]

*shrug* I still use my 1990 classic Gameboy headphones with the DS. They fit just fine.

They foam on the earbuds are long gone though :'( Can you buy new foamies for earbuds?

Sure, you usually get about three sets of foams with the 99 cent earbuds/case that they sell in the grocery story checkout lanes.

Maybe you need to listen to less. Nerd.

The music rules. Especially the title menu music.

 

[Zeo]

I do. And AWDS has fucking awesome music.

 

[cvxfreak]

My earbuds also work perfectly.

The DS and micro have really good headphone ports, IMO.

... but what if it was a very polite request and if the idea were a very good one?

 

[GaimeGuy]

A note for all who don't think AWDS has good music: do NOT judge the AWDS music from the Advancewarsnet rips. Yes, I know they're at 128kbps and 44khz quality, but even that is a huge downgrade that severely reduces the quality of the music. It sounds absolutely awesome when you're playing AWDS with headphones.

 

[Kiriku]

This is sucky for people who don't actually own an SP or a headphone adapter (like me for example). It feels somewhat stupid paying for a headphone adapter when I'm confident they could've just built the DS to make every type of headphone plug fit...only thing in the way is a bit of plastic. Luckily, I have other headphones that actually fits...but still.

 

[drohne]

the recessed headphone jack is my fifth most-hated thing about the ds. after the laughable gimmick, the laughable graphics, the laughable ergonomics, and the sad necessity of owning one to play metroidvania.

 

[callous]

Isn't it more of a problem that the damn thing is about as ergonomically correct as an iron maiden?
