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...

Also, how does the fast forward feature operate? If I have a 3 hour podcast and I want to ff 90 mins, it doesn't do me any good if the device can only ff 1 minute per second. The Sansa devices ramp up the FF speed the longer you hold it down, which is effective.
The good news: The device remembers where you left off. If the battery dies or if you turn it off, you can continue playback during your next session no problem.
However, if you accidentally skip to the next track or play something else in between, it forgets the position you were at. I've repeatedly "butt dialed" the next chapter in an audiobook only to skip back to find out the megamini forgot i was 45 minutes into an episode of radiolab.
@Farnham: I can validate your concerns. The player forgets where you were if you skip and fast forwarding is complete hell on this device. It's painfully slow. We're talking roughly 3sec/1min at constant speed, which can easily add up to a minute or two skipping time in audio books.
Thanks again for addressing the issues though! Very helpful
