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...

Most likely the listener won't be able to tell the difference unless they have exceptional hearing and a really good sound system. And the higher quality is just if you need to edit it in software. Sort of like a video editor wouls use a 1440p monitor for 1080p editing. Or like playing a game and using supersampling antialiasing would give you a higher res and then downsample, not many people would notice that much of a difference unless they knew it was there.
It depends on what kind of work you intend to do. If it's musical work, the better preamps in the Scarlett is well worth the money. If it's just podcasting, voicing-over etc. it won't be too much of a difference.
Here's a comparison video for example.
It boils to down what you want the equipment for, if it's simple recording work where content is more important than audio quality like podcasting then obviously a simpler interface that offers utility over quality is preferable.
For entry level music production, where sound quality matters a lot more, better quality equipment is definitely worth the investment. In addition, they have better resale value too!
