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 Bravo amps are designed for hard to drive headphones; high impedance (120Ohm or more) and low efficiency. low impedance headphones sound bad in comparison. E9 is a highly versatile, true all-around amp that will have enough power to properly drive almost any headphone in the market.
E9 sounds very neutral and flat, consistent in its sound signature no matter the headphones you plug in. The Bravo amps present an entirely different sound, with a lot of warmth and sparkle, which some refer to as 'tube sound'. The highs and lows are emphasized and the overall impression is a V shaped sound signature that compliments a lot of headphones, but not all.
If you're frugal and don't have a dac, get a HiFimediy sabre u2 for less than $60.
I can guarantee you'll get a whole different sound out of your headphones, compared to the E9. This alone is worth the purchase :)
