I have noticed this problem with other amps except mine. I think its the contacts inside the amp.

is it a 3.5mm jack, or a 1/4in jack?

if it's a 3.5mm jack, the jack most likely needs to be replaced and a honest technician around town shouldn't charge more then 15 to do it. or, it's the headphones.

if it's a 1/4in jack, check to see if it's TRS or TS. TS is a mono line, the king you plug into your guitar. TRS is the stereo counterpart, it has a additional black ring on the spike. if it's a TS, it's probably your headphones. unless putting a TS into a TRS will get you 1 side of the stereo send, but i don't think it does...

read your manual... it should say whether it's M-S, S-M, S-S, M-M. now, is the headphone spike TRS or is the jack TRS???

at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the headphone works.. it was the jack that wasnt right.. i have a question, the quality of the sound doesnt seem to be like 100% coming out from the headphones, is that normal or should the quality of the sound be the same??

It should be the same, though it depends on how old your headphones or amp may be. Also see if the jack port is properly clean.
