Bent Headphone Jack

A little less than a year ago I bought myself a pair of earpods, and they've been lovely.

However, I was listening to music today and I dropped my phone, causing the earpods' headphone jack to bend.

Now they won't play music at all.

Is there anything I can do about this?

you can buy another pair

or

you can use any other 3.5mm minijack headset in the world from now to back to the 1980's walkmen

or

you can try to pend the connector back but be careful if it breaks inside the phone you have another more troublesome issue


the point of warranty is to protect the buyer from manufactoring defects which did not become apparent before the buyer already had, it's not an insurance against users damaging the product

but if you have a homeowner insurance they may cover depending on the insurance company
