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...

The UI is extremely poor and for playlists you cannot reasonably make one on the device itself. If you want a playlist with tracks from all over your library you'll be better off doing it on your computer and importing.
They sell these devices and update them for six months and then no updates though there are plenty of bugs and things to fix about them. Seems like Fiio isn't interested in really extending support for very long on these devices that have plenty of bugs.
As far as usage goes it sounds great, battery lasts a long time, it's not a huge thing.
X5ii is perfect for what it is - but costs more.
This is a great entry level device though. I would imagine the price has dropped on it recently because they are ready to release a new version of it like they did with the X1 so you're about to buy an outdated device is what it seems like.
Especially since FiiO's software support of this device is now done.
You would have a great time exploring the custom UIs, they come at no risk, and some of them are better than any other DAP out there!
My biggest problem is the inability to make playlists on the fly without opening a track, playing it (interruption whatever else is playing), and then adding to a new playlist.
I will randomly DJ artist spaces I hang out at and usually do it from my device. Oftentimes these days I'll use the X3 as a DAC than a DAP because at least on Android I can use PowerAmp which IMO has the best Enqueue interface.
