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...

I was a bit of a nOOb when it came to audio equipment when I purchased the m9xx and did not realize that it only had unbalanced outputs /sadface
Any help or advise would be appreciated.
Once you have the HS-8's properly positioned, the imaging and soundstage are amazing. I prefer the F4 filter setting on the m9xx when using the HS-8 monitors.
What I can add is that I use the m9xx volume knob in its normal manner and have zero issues with noise or sound quality. I set the HS-8 monitor volume to the intermediate detent. This gives me excellent volume control and incremental adjustment and allows headphone volume to be approximately the same.
I use an iPhone 6s as my music source. If I use USB input into the m9xx (using Apple's CCK Lightning cable), the signal from the iPhone is a fixed signal level. Volume control can only be done using the m9xx volume knob.
I also use an Apple TV (3rd gen) and optical TosLink to the m9xx. This gives me the ability to use my iPhone and iPad to send a wireless signal to the m9xx. In this case, the iPhone or iPad will vary the volume level to the Apple TV.
