Audio jack (socket) is broken
Somehow I was listening to music with the wired cable plugged in and it got stuck and half of the headphone jack got stuck and ended up breaking the entire audio jack in the headphones. I tried searching for that specific piece on aliexpress but only find it for the jbl flip 3 speaker, the socket is completely distroyed and need a new one. Any ideas where I can purchase this? Repair is not too hard just can’t find the piece.. any help I would appreciate it. Thank you! P.s bluetooth works perfectly fine but will eventually die so need this repaired !!!
ANSWERS:
"Hi,
You may have to search places like this to find a socket that will physically fit into the space and has the same pcb connection configuration. (I'm assuming that it is a TRS type socket -i.e. 3 rings on the audio plug).

Hi
I thought that you meant that the internals of the socket itself were broken. See blue arrow in image
(click on image to enlarge for better viewing).
If that is so you'll have to unscrew the pcb from the case onto which the socket is mounted and unsolder the socket from the pcb. Then you'll have to determine the connections between the socket and the pcb so that it matches the wiring going away to the headphones.
Usually with stereo audio socket and plug, the tip contact is the left speaker, the ring contact is the right speaker and the sleeve is the common earth for both speakers.
If the headphones have a microphone (don't know the headphones myself) then you'll need a TRRS socket instead.
Same convention although it may be tricky with regards the microphone connection in the socket. Does the cable plug have 3 or 4 rings?
ALTERNATIVE OPTION.
See if you can ascertain the board number on the socket board, check both sides of the board (can't quite make it out myself, - old eyes ;-)
If you can make out a board number Google search the number only and see if there are any results. Worth a shot."
