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 more interested to hear the N5ii or the recently released Hiby R6 which is most likely why development for the i5 has stopped since Hiby built their own DAP.. I'm still wishing I'd backed it on IGG.
The versatility of jumping between personal library and streaming apps was half the reason I sought out an Android DAP, so I'd like to know how the Cayin fares if you've given it a try. Thanks.
And I probably missed out on the best bang for the buck DAP released in recent months w the Hiby R6 - check the reviews as well as the specs. Sadly for i5 owners, Hiby likely won't develop anymore updates with Cayin for it due to their own R6. It was $579 I believe, which in DAP land is definitely reasonable considering what all they stuffed into the R6, IMO. the $5-600 mark is apparently the popular price-point for a current Android-based DAP that streams, stores offline tracks, plenty of storage, current audio tech, great amp and DAC section, good touchscreen and resolution, and allows 3rd party apps from G Play. I still want to hear the LG phones though, which I'd use as a DAP if I could find a used one cheap enough. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hiby-r6-worlds-most-advanced-android-hi-fi-player-music
If I had known offline doesn’t work, I would’ve just used my old deactivated iPhone 6S. If anyone finds a fix for any of these Hiby-based players (Cayin, FiiO, HiBy, maybe Shanling if they ever release an android player), please reply in this comments thread. As it stands... maybe I should just sell everything and buy a used Android smartphone with a MicroSD slot?
