My SE has a loose earphone socket. I am positive it is the SE socket and NOT the earphones plug. I have tried the earphones in several other devices OK I have tried other earphones in the SE socket and experience same loose plug static. I can physically manipulate the socket left/right to make a temporary connection but does not stay connected. Again, it is the socket, NOT the earphone plug…multiple earphones have same loose fit and static.
What’s an se socket? Kidding. Here ya go iPhone SE (1st Gen) Lightning Connector and Headphone Jack iPhone SE Lightning Connector Replacement
