Remove the case if you have one and push the headphones farther into the jack.

If the problem is with the headphones, then the same thing will occur if you plug them in to your desktop / laptop computer. Try that out.

Yeah, it sounds like the problem is when the plug isn't fully pushed into the jack, or the jack inside is damaged and isn't making proper contact with the plug.

How do you know it is the headphones? Have you tried a different pair of headphones on the same jack and they've worked fine?

or

Tried those headphones in another jack and the headphones are experiencing the same problem?

They are a sennheiser in har headphones, like this

They have the same problem on all devices i tried (also pc), but other headphones work perfectly. Also spinning the jack while in doesn't produce any sort of cracking sound (that happens when the connector has problems), the sounds stays the same.

Edit: i also tried to listen to the same song both on pc and on the phone, and effect is exactly the same...

I'm afraid it simply sounds like the headphones themselves are damaged if the same problem exists on any device you try. Perhaps the wiring is damaged.

If they are under warranty, get yourself a replacement.

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
