Position of headphone sockets and arm rest
Is it just me or is the combination of armrest and headphone jacks a bad design?
I find that if you put weight on the arm rest it folds down beyond the horizontal position, which is annoying in itself (can that be fixed/tightened up?) but also it then puts pressure on the headphone leads

Re: Position of headphone sockets and arm rest
I've never seen the problem you describe. On my DA62, the movable armrest never drops below a level horizontal position.
Perhaps your armrest installation can be adjusted.

Re: Position of headphone sockets and arm rest
Thanks.
I wouldn’t say it “drops”. But if you actually put your arm/elbow on it, it folds down past horizontal.
Anyone know if this can be tightened/adjusted. Does this happen for anyone else?

Re: Position of headphone sockets and arm rest
Likewise. With my arm on or off the armrest, it never drops below horizontal and has never interfered with the headset jacks at all.
