I dropped my iPod which caused the headphone jack to intermittently work on only one side. I was resigned to pay whatever it would cost to fix at the Apple store, but I googled "replace headphone jack ipod' and found many videos that provide good instruction on how to do it yourself. I had never opened my iPod before.
This headphone jack arrived within 3 days. Great service.
The insides of the iPod are easy to figure out but all parts are tiny as expected. You must have a jewelers number '0" Phillips head screwdriver to do the work, but that's it for tools. The screws are difficult and took the most time, but the connections are simple and they are held down with tabs.
Maybe I was just excited to get the iPod working properly again, but I had the same experience that others here mentioned -- this headphone jack seems to sound better with smoother bass and better separation.
Highly recommended if you are at all handy!

I don't know if this is like a placebo effect, but when I installed this baby I realized that it had better bass response than the original. Highly recommend if your stock headphone jack went south.

I have had my ipod 5th gen for a while and after a year the sound only came out on one side so I kind gave up on it because i didnt want to send it and pay to get it fixed. Well when i found this and i decide to give it a shot. After installing it, my ipod sound worked perfect. I found the tutorial on youube on how to do it and in 20 minutes or so my ipod was fixed. Great Buy. You wont be disappointed
