RadioRental writes - "Headphone jacks are half mechanical and half electrical. General use on the mechanical side can have detrimental effects on the electrical which is designed to carry current not physical load. If you find the audio cutting out when you wiggle the headphone jack then there is a very simple fix, re-solder the connections" - Link.
