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 don't know what the Grindmis, but I'm surprised, because the AKG Q701 is quite bassy, and yours should be the same thing
2) Do you have Lossless files? If you will use foobar2000, try to set Playback->Output->Device as WASAPI (event) -> Your DAC name Play it and try to feel if there is any difference. Important: While playing trough foobar2000 in WASAPI (event) mode your E5 will not be able to be used by any other software.
3) If you think it's not good yet, go to https://www.hdtracks.com/ and choose some random tracks you had never listened to.
4) If you are not satisfied yet, close the foobar and turn on Direct Mode on SBX Pro Studio under Speaker/Headphones tab and retry steps 2 and 3.
If after that you are still not satisfied so you have a problem and will have to trade something. I recommend you to try the E5 paired with a Fidelio X2/27 before you think the AMP/DAC is the problem.
Good luck
