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...

Now the reason I extrapolate hearing this PICO with certainty based on the Pico Power amp and expect anything I say to hold water is once you experience Justin's designs, it's soon clear he is a manufacturer with Integrity and Honor. You can't make products the likes of his stuff without a true dedication to excellence. Now such faith is something that I would have scoffed at long ago, but not any longer. Justin has been around a long time because his stuff is very good compared to everyone else's for the price. Pure and simple.
Finally, I would probably use a DAP instead of this unit for on the go listening. To me this Pico is more of an extension of the Laptop's sound card when I don't or can't use the home system---if I were walking and had a coat with big pockets then fine. But for running? Forget about it--bound to be too bulky. Hope this helps.
Also, I need your opinion. I would love to try one of these Pico Amp products, but I think DAP (Opus#1 or Pioneer XDP-100R-K) would be more useful for me when I travel. After all, it's light weight, portable, touch screen, amp/dac built in, flac. music files, etc... In general, DAP seems like a good option for me, but at the same time I don't think the Pico DAC/AMP & Pico Slim looks that heavy either. You also praised how well built Pico products are (Sound quality wise). So do you think Pico DAC/AMP or Pico Slim would sound better than the two DAP I've mentioned? Also, have you tried Pico Slim before? I use IEM's a lot, so I'm looking for a good companion I can connect it with my phone.
P.S. I would appreciate if you recommend me other DAP products or something like Pico Slim that is usually designed for IEM products.
Thank you!
