call Garrett

Either the headphones have a broken wire/dry solder joint, or the jack in the detector has one.

Before you send the detector back to Garrett, clean the headphone jack with alcohol on a Q-Tip.

Don't know if this will help but I had s similar issue with the stock TreasureSound headphones that came with my 250. They worked great for a month then suddenly stopped working while I was out hunting. I was in some bushy areas and may have snagged the cord a couple of times but nothing that would cause damage in my opinion. Bought the Master Sound headphones with the correct jack and have had no problems since. I think the stock phones are just made cheaply like old school "walkman" headphones were back in the 80's and not meant to last long. Good luck!
