iPod Touch issue

[textualoffender]

Hi,

I have an iPod Touch that has this issue with its headphone jack. The music doesnt come play properly. I have tried different headphones. Sometimes it will play fine for few minutes. But usually music sounds incomplete. I think the headphone jack needs to be replaced.
It's not under warranty.
Any idea where I can get it repaired?

Did you check if there is any dust accumulated in the port?

Check with Apple if they can fix this.

a cheap and easy way for you to fix this would be to get Fiio E1 amp in case Apple says no for fixing this or quotes a heavy price for the same.

Fiio E1 In the Flesh Pictures - Portable AMP Designed for the iPod | MP4 Nation Blog

cost is around 1k I think.
