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 have to say that even with my old lower end mid-range cans (some will argue lower than mid, JBL Synchro 500's--which got a terrible wrap due to this *awful* optional integrated DSP that could be disabled, and when disabled they sound great)... even with the lower mid-range the m9XX made things better on the JBLs and improved the clarity and overall listening experience.
But now that I have my LCD-2's... dear hell... it's indescribably beautiful. I'm listening to a copy of some Glenn Gould recordings of Bach in DSD64 format at the moment and... it's just so spectacular (my god it's full of stars), taking me to a noticeably different place.
I'm not even remotely qualified to give any substantive audio review, but I can tell you that even as a layman the diminishing returns I was concerned about with step-above audio equipment was unfounded. I can easily hear the difference, I can feel the difference, and I couldn't be happier.
Thank you so much for the m9XX, and with plenty (65 is lots loud enough for me on high power) of volume ceiling to go, I am back off to go delight myself with a library I'm rediscovering.
Anybody considering pairing the m9XX with LCD-2's... I can't recommend it enough and try the F4 setting on the m9XX... perfection!
