Well this seems to happen to me. On my tvs they have a hole labeled "headphones" but when I put them in its mono (and sound comes out of only one side) and even if i put it on another device, like my ipod, its still mono, how do i fix this? Should i replace the jack to fix the headphones?

Check to make sure that they are stereo headphones. Stereo headphones have two black non-conductive rings on the jack to seperate the left and right channels. Either this is your problem, or the jack on your television is a mono jack, not capable of supporting stereo headphones wthout an adapter. Even with an adapter, you will only receive a signal from one channel, although you will be able to hear audio through both speakers.

Your earphones will be mono (in both ears) unless you are jacked in to a stereo TV. Seems that your set is only playing in one ear no matter the source. If it is always the same ear that works, then your earphones are broke and need to be replaced or repaired.

You'll probably need to buy new 'phones. The earpieces lose their connection more often than the jack. Try wiggling the cord near the silent side of the headphone to see.
