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.

Today, I reconnected the Focusrite, and reinstalled the latest drivers. I made several test recordings (using both OBS and Cyberlink), addressing the mic from the left, the center, and the right. Here are the strange results upon playback: When the mic was connected to the Focusrite's mic input 1, the sound was always substantially louder on the left, and when the mic was connected to mic input 2, the sound was always substantially louder on the right. I have no idea how this could happen, even in a faulty USB Audio Interface, but I'm thinking it may be time to return the Scarlett 2i2.

And as I wrote, when a generic phantom power unit was substitute for the Focusrite the problem disappeared. So if the Focusrite is the issue, does anyone have any idea how to correct this problem? If anyone has any insight into how this could happen, I would be appreciative in hearing it before I wrap up the Focusrite and send it back.
for some reason your input 1 is set to pan left and input 2 is set to pan right.. there is a software included in focusrite to manage the routing.. i would suggest to go there and and play with it.. try switching them back and forth to mono and stereo, until you can get the output that you want...
