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...

One thing to understand about Grace Design is that we aim really high with our designs, which is why till now our headphone amp / DACs have all been in the $2k range. The real work for us with the m9XX was to land this in this price range without having to sell our soul and make something we didn't really believe in. This is to say, we had to make some hard decisions, mostly about features such as analog in, that would end up making the m9XX more expensive. Its not as simple as just tacking on an analog input somewhere on the rear panel. There would be many more components, a different kind of volume control, greater power budget constraints, and on an on, to the point that this drop would probably be $699 or higher.
With total bias, but also deep understanding of how we design and build our equipment, the m9XX affords playback quality which approaches our $2k amp / DACs. The big job was pairing down the feature set to what is essential, while maintaining the performance on which we have built our reputation.
Hope this helps!
Reading that makes me feel good about potentially purchasing this. Hopefully this can be communicted more through the marketing because it seems a lot of people are kind of confused and unsure about this product. Then again, maybe it will be communicated more through word-of-mouth by the people who purchase this in the first round.
