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...

They really are outstanding speakers, taking everything into consideration.
I do wish people would stop making comments such as " well beyond what the human auditory system can perceive." Yes you may point to a test in a controlled environment that resulting data would indicate this (and these experiments are not perfectly set-up anyway). But, this is about enjoying music over long periods of time, which is a deeply visceral experience, that produces a non-tangible, personal, subjective and spiritual enjoyment. This cannot be quantified. Of course there are bounds to this. But I just want people to think of this perspective. BTW - This is not an excuse for spending beyond one's budget on audio equipment.

the Q100s sounded artificial in my system where the gallos do not. the gallos also do a phenomenal job of imaging.
I listened to both as nearfield monitors in my office, a small room without acoustic treatments and some rather harsh surfaces. Perhaps the 100s would sound better in a more conventional setting?
In any case, I've seen some interesting DIY designs using q100 drivers, including an upward firing design, so the q100s may eventually be back in use.
The Amphion H2 review in stereophile is very enthusiastic. the review compared them to the Creek 5350se integrated amp, a classic solid state piece of equipment.
