Cable PULLER??????

Just kidding, does sound like a loose connection and loose pins definitely doesn't sound good. Occasionaly, (almost everytime

) I forget I have my headset on and attempt to walk away from my computer BWOUYANNNGUH

(whiplash). So, I am on my 3rd headset. Started hearing that crackling sound and noticed that jiggling the wires to headset cured it temporarily. If you know where you can test a new cable before buying one to see if that does the trick I would start there.
