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...

As for the Geekout, you should be able to find multiple comparisons between that and the Slim online.
That's what I do all day. 0_0;

Those two products serve for different goals. The CEntrance offering with a battery costs quite a bit more than the Dragonfly, so it shouldn't really compete with it at a 200 dollar price point. The past DACportable Slim definitely wins over the Dragonfly, but alas, that offering is gone for people now. The DACport still draws a lot of power, so for portable use, the Dragonfly should last longer. Yes, it still draws power from the phone, but it's worth mentioning (I'm trying hard to nitpick reasons that justify the price of the Dragonfly here! I absolutely hate it and think nobody deserves to waste their money on it for that price). Aside from more power draw, there really isn't anything I can bring up that makes the Dragonfly shine. It has a lower noise floor, but the similarly priced DACport HD also has that . It has a different dac chip, if one really wants to think that the chip makes all the difference, but if you really believe so, there are desktop offerings for 200 dollars that do better.
Just grab a Slim and a battery pack/usb otg y cable, or just go with the HD. :P
Or be a weirdo like me and just go with the phone. Good enough for most people.
For those with a rooted Android phone, the newest Viper4Android is out! Supports cross-channel convolver so you can get the same effect from Joe Bloggs' crossffrom plugin for Foobar.
