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 sound is noticeably warmer. I originally got this because my headphones were inefficient and too quiet plugged directly into the computer, this made them way more than loud enough. I replaced said headphones. NOW I can use the headphones as speakers. OR, more commonly, I can set the computer to half volume, set the amp to it's very lowest setting, and be juuust fine.
It has a LOT of amping left over.
Of course, this is NOT going to make up for some crappy cans (headphones). Providing crap with more power is just going to overdrive it or expose it's failures more obviously. Go to an audiophile headphone site, not "wired", to get advice. head-fi is one (google), but there are others, if you really care to.
I do know someone who's using this to drive his speakers off of his turntable to good effect in his apartment as well.
Just my 2c, hope it's of some use.
