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...

2. Associated with 1. How good IS the hiss? :) No really... I can hear the hiss off a E07K and it is a bit irritating.
3. On the other hand, I'd to use this amp with my HD-600s if possible. (About 10-15 years old now... There was no 650 yet ;). )
4. Have you really tested on Linux, or are you guessing off the USB compatibility? This is important to me because I use Linux every day, as my main platform.
(edit to clarify on Linux)
Hopefully that answers your questions. :) Maybe CEntrance can answer you in even more depth.
#1. Non-answer, to the hearing protection issue, either setting can likely blow my ears out with the SE846s. (I like hardware protection here where I can get it.)
#2. Good guess, I'd like to hear the answer of the guy with his hands on the hardware.
#3. I don't listen anywhere near that loud. Not close. Should be fine, one would hope.
#4. That's great in theory. It is good to actually have someone plug it into a machine and confirm it works. As someone said to me one "Theory and practice are the same... In theory." Given that my main laptop is Linux, I have little interest in hardware that won't work with it.
It doesn't hurt to be a bit grateful to someone who wants to help.
Actually, other users may care about the answers. I know that things like Linux compatibility etc, are always interesting.
#1. No, you ignored the point. I asked if they have a way to LIMIT the volume, in hardware/software. I use an iPhone and a Fiio E07K, both of which have "Maximum Volume" settings of one form or another, to prevent you from blowing your ears off, or damaging your equipment. #3. Ok. #4. Actually, it isn't uncommon to refer to a laptop running Linux that way. (shrug) If you want to be really pedantic, Linux is a kernel, not an OS. The distributions turn it into an OS. But well, that's pedantic even for me.
I understand you were trying to be useful, and I appreciate that.
Thanks,
Regarding Linux, it will work if your computer/OS has UAC2 drivers.
