Of all the ways one might connect audio equipment, I like the 1/8" audio headphone jack the least. It is prone to failing with repeated use as the prongs inside get bent. You lose one channel, or the jack gets loose and you can't count on it staying in, and/or it gives you crackling noise with any vibration.
