Thanks for the bug report. This kind of sound problem is usually a bad connection between the audio socket and the headphones. Usually it is because of the differing standards in common use:

and/or just slight imperfections in how the connectors come into contact.

So please try some different headphones as a test. Please also try using any kind of adapter or other audio cable you have to see if it gets a better connection and improves the sound.
