Headphone problem

Question

I have this problem with my headphones. They were working fine up until today, where the music sounds like it's coming from the background and the jack needs to be facing a certain direction and in a specific position to work normally. Anyone know what could be causing it?

Answer

It's more than likely the headphones instead of the phone.
