Hi, I've bought a Sennheiser HD-25 headphone, I've had this phone before and I know that it's jack has a very nice and tight fit. Although using it with my MBP 17" is a pain. With the slightest movement, the jack gets disconnected. Any way to fix this?
I had another MBP the very same model and the headphone jack was fine.
Thanks!
Is this a good question?

Sadly the jack is part of the logic board are well mounted! You would need to replace the logic board.
How about getting a USB DAC unit to plug your headphones into, here's one unit: Audioquest -Dragonfly
Here's a view of the logic board where you can see the input & headphone jacks:
I was able to use a jack from a junker to replace mine. Apple uses a custom part and its just not available as a spare. This is also not an easy job!

Thanks for your answer Dan,
I already use (most of the time) a dedicated audio intercafe, in this case an Apogee Duet FW. I monitor via speakers and headphones thru them. But sometimes I’m not carrying it around, so for the convenience sake I would like just to plug my headphones in the MBP’s jack.
Also I’m very fond of the DAC that you suggested me. Unfortunately where I live those are quite expensive!
Sorry I can't offer you a cheaper solution ;-{
Replacing the logic board will be much more costly.
