Also, a right angle plug is mnuch easier to "tie" (eg. rubber band, gaff tape, whatever) to the recorder than the straight ones.

This. 

Glad you got things straightened out LaS.

right angle and a rubber band. best rubber bands are the ones that they wrap aspergus and brocoli up with. i got lots of them. wise guys also use these rubber bands for their wad of cash.

Thanks everyone of the input once again I can't assure that right angled plugs are neccesarely better or won't slip off the recording at all, but I'm sure it will help Also, a right angle plug is mnuch easier to "tie" (eg. rubber band, gaff tape, whatever) to the recorder than the straight ones.

I would use a band of Velcro around the cable. And a small strip on the side of the recorder. A rubber band woks well too. But I find the best way is to have a pocket that fits your gear properly so that no stress is put on the connector.
