8mm? That's larger than a guitar plug. What kind of PC do you have?
After having to fiddle with 3.5mm connectors enough times, I have started seeing the appeal of XLR.
Not that it matters, because nothing in my budget has an XLR on it and I always have to fiddle with the connector every time I put on my headphones, to make sure R and L are getting a proper connection.
Sometimes, even turning it in place does the trick and I fail to understand how.
