Broken Female Headphone Connection on my Ipad 7th gen
I recently got some studio headphones, AKG K52s, and when i tried plugging them into my ipad i noticed that the 3,5 connection on my ipad ( 7th Gen ) wasn't making a proper connection, i tested to see if the headphones were the problem but they weren't ( Tried it on a computer and they connected and worked properly ) so i suspect the female connector is somehow worn out, the headphone jack was very loose when i put it in and wiggled around and even came off very easily.
is this a common problem and is there any other solution other than sending it off for repair?
Im considering buying a lightning cable ( headphone jack to "charger" connector ) and using that as a possible fix but i'm not sure.
iPad, iPadOS 15
