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...

What I really want is a "on/off" button--say press the top dial in for 10 seconds since I think pulling the USB plug is a) more difficult for where the M9XX is mounted in my desk-side mini-rack. Also, it will put more stress on the connector. I guess I am going to have to get creative and unplug it at the wall side but that seems a shame for something that is a) so beautifully designed an b) does an amazing job. This is my goto headphone amp now.
If there is a version 2 or downloadable firmware update (?), please add some on/off feature that is not dependent on pulling a plug.
Great job guys.
Having an easier method to turn the amp off helps those who want an on/off mechanism and does nothing to those who prefer to leave it on all the time. That's my design philosophy--try to address both groups where possible. Just my humble opinion.
You can plug the m9XX directly onto a power-USB hub with an on-and-off switch. Some power-USB Hub has a separate dedicated charging port and that is where you can plug the m9XX 2nd USB for power. And when you travel, you can either unplug the USB-Hub or turn it off if there is an on-and-off button.
