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...

I'm in on this drop because of the jazz collection. It will go well with all of the Dead and Company and Grateful Dead that I'm constantly listening to. Ha! I've been wanting an A&K player for some time now and this is the deal that pulled me in. All I need is a 3.5mm female to 2.5mm male TRRS adapter. Not a single earbud or headphone I have is 2.5mm.
The A&K player should have a 3.5mm output which should be used for single ended headphones. Due to grounding and polarity issues, you generally would not want to take a non-balanced headphone and feed it through a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter. This can damage the DAP.
You can however go from Balanced 2.5mm to single ended 3.5mm without issues.
yeah then theres no issues then.
I have a balanced DAP and was under the impression that I could convert all of my headphones to balanced with a $12 adapter until I did some research and just wanted to throw that out there. :)
All I know is you have to be careful :-) This may be why my Pono Player uses two separate TRS outputs together for balanced output :-)
