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...

When I originally ordered this device, I was a little confused about the functionality and what it could actually do. I'll try and break that down here:
What you can do:
- Charge internal battery and use as a USB DAC on a computer at the same time - Use as a USB OTG DAC on a compatible Android or iPhone - Use as an external battery pack for an Android device There are three things that this device does NOT do that I kind of wish it did. Those are:
- Charge internal battery through separate charging port and also use as an Android USB DAC - Charge an Android device and use the USB DAC functionality at the same time - Charge Android device through DAC USB port and also charge internal battery through charging port To be clear about the last point, you cannot charge an external device at the same time the internal battery itself is being charged. It would be nice if the charge would go into a "passthrough" mode or something similar once the internal battery is done charging so you would only have to leave the DAC plugged in to charge the whole rig. Overall, I'd give the thing 4/5 stars.
