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...

Also, I’m new to this if it isn’t obvious. Whenever I take up a hobby I tend to go all-in. For home I ordered the Cavalli CTH Tube Hybrid. This will replace the Dragonfly Black that I’ve been using at home and on the go. At home I have tended to use either my Massdrop HE-4xx’s or DT 770’s. I’m trying to keep things relatively inexpensive until I figure out what type of sound I like the most. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Over the last 2 months with the Aune I can say I prefer it. The Schiit to me is more up front and the Aune sounds more natural and fun. Btw I'm using the Massdrop Sennheiser HD 6XX, AKG K7XX, Superlux HD668B and JBL LSR30X all streaming Master quality Tidal on PC.
I've got my JBL LSR30X monitors connected to my Aune with TS to RCA and this is where I find myself listening to everything now. I think the headphone jack might sound a little different than the RCA? Maybe the tube sound comes out more with that connection? Who knows lol I think I'm just enjoying the different experience of speakers right now.
Being honest I think my toys sound amazing and I've come to the conclusion that they're all just different. I mix everything for different stuff. Right now I've settled on K7XX/Schiit for gaming, superlux occasionally with the Aune (that combo doesn't stab knives into my ears), and HD6XX mostly for music/movies. That cheap Superlux is an insane value.
This hobby is getting expensive lol
The Superlux can's are rad! Cheap but makes sound go!
Is that a w/c rad at the bottom of your case?
And no on the rad. My case is InWin 303 with those crazy RGB Corsair fans. I wanted a cooling design that didn't pull air in from the front and this was perfect. My AIO is NZXT Kraken X42 that I had to custom mount in a 120mm fan spot.
I have my eye on pairing the Aune with the Darkvoice 336SE/6XX. From what I've read the 6XX and Darkvoice are match made for each other and I'll probably grab it on the next drop. Tube on tube sounds extremely fun! I'll probably end up tube rolling eventually :) Like I said before this hobby can get expensive.
Using the Aune alone isn't a bad experience so give it a try before you spend a boat load of $. Between solid state and tube I find things to be different and not exactly one better than the other. Whatever you decide I hope you love it and remember this is only my subjective opinion!
