Soldered directly?
A connector that is constantly being used to plug and unplug something, is soldered directly? They don't use a flexible connection? And a mechanical engineer decided to do it that way? Oh my. Would make more sense to have the connector on a flexible cable that can be withdrawn a half-inch to connect to the headphone cable.
