Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

1 - If you can get the volume to your desired level, you don't NEED an amp. Most computer sound cards and digital music players will provide this just fine. The big thing to look out for is using it with a Mixamp when you're gaming. You might want additional amplification for this use as it can sometimes be too quiet if you're chatting too.
2 - While you don't NEED an amp to get these loud enough, the sound quality will be just good. For them to sound great, you'll want a decent amp.
3 - If you've never heard something like this headphone, you'll think it sounds fine with no amp. But once you amp it, you won't want to go back.
Hope this helps a little.
these headphones require almost double the power of normal headphones so you may find your self needing an amp if they end up to quiet. 65 Ohm isn't crazy high (using 56 Ohm atm with no amp) but lowered powered devices like phones may not do so well.
If it's loud enough for you, you don't NEED and amp. If you want it to sound its best, tho, then yes, get an amp.
