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...

Only some though; I don't think many are like this. But extremists exist everywhere of course, and educated filtering of opinions/impressions is a must nowadays.
EDIT: I am NOT saying the Monoprice adapter works well guys, I'm just saying it's generally the case whn cheaper stuff gets flak and you shouldn't be basing your opinion on just one guy.
1. Those who say that cheap things are all you need, and amps/dacs don't make a difference, O2+ODAC is all you will ever need (which is actually true depending on the cans owned), etc.
2. Those who say cables/adapters make a difference (of course if it's bad it will degrade sound quality, but they think expensive vs good cables make a lot of difference), DAC upgrades would yield a night and day difference (untrue, people have trouble differentiating ODAC and Bifrost MB when blind testing after VOLUME MATCHING *important), and that you need good, expensive dac/amps to power a 9 ohm Shure SE846, etc.
I'm referring to the latter in this case. I'm just saying, take comments with a grain of salt and get more opinions before making a conclusion, because a lot of opinions/impressions are gonna be extremely subjective and biased.
TL;DR: I don't think you should conclude that the Monoprice adapter is trash just because of one guy's opinion (that was earlier on, more impressions are coming in now).
Thank you for getting back to me! It is likely that you received a defective adapter, as no other member has reported having this issue. I can go ahead and send a replacement from our warehouse. Once your replacement adapter ships, you should receive a confirmation email with tracking.
If for some reason you continue having issues with the replacement adapter, please contact us and we can determine how to proceed moving forward.
Warmly, Hillary
Truth be told, no one wants a placement maybe.
