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...

The X1A is an upgrade from the X1 which I have. It allows “deep sleep”, which means when idling it uses hardly any power, just like a mobile phone. Helps with battery life.
I like its neutral signature. Sounds great when fed through a variety of amps. Also, it gives me 200 GB of storage. Personally, I am delighted with the X1. When I bought it, the only alternative was the very expensive A&K. Despite one rather annoying “Line-out” bug (see my other posts) I’ve become rather cozy with it.
You’re spot-on when you say having an intuitive UI and a pleasing user experience means a lot. Between two high end devices, a clumsy irritating UI can be a real pain to live with.
You’re right too that the DP-X1 (and 1A) offers a simple uncomplicated outer layer, but allows a range of complex tweaks in the belly of the menu. More than I’ve needed really. I think the Onkyo DP-X1A has been given far less credit than it deserves.
I’ve never tried its OTG function with a USB flash drive. Plan to do that sometime. Happy listening.
