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...

That said though, my Shanling M0 (Absolutely LOVE this amazing little music player already and might buy a 2nd one just to have around) and Sony NW-A35 Walkman both support the Sony LDAC codec, and I've been thinking about grabbing a Sony MUC-M2BT1 MMCX LDAC Bluetooth cable just for use with my CA Andromeda IEM's, to take advantage of the better and higher quality sound of the LDAC codec!
Once I get the Andromedas paid off in another month or so, I'll definitely be grabbing the Sony MUC-M2BT1 LDAC Bluetooth MMCX Cable though for sure and trying it out! I wish it was smaller and more portable and foldable like my Westone Bluetooth cable is, but if it's better quality sound, then I don't care. Then I can use the Westone Bluetooth MMCX Cable with my two pairs of Westone UM Pro 30's, and keep the Sony MUC-M2BT1 LDAC Bluetooth MMCX Cable strictly for my Andromedas!
So point being, if you already have a good/great pair of MMCX IEM's, you don't have to buy or settle for a pair of Bluetooth ONLY IEM's. Just get the Westone MMCX Bluetooth cable or something similar if you're just using the SBC/APT-X/AAC codecs, or splurge for the Sony LDAC Bluetooth MMCX Cable, if you want to use the highest quality wireless Bluetooth codec. I'm listening to my HQ 24bit FLACs that I record myself at concerts/shows, with my German Schoeps mics and USA made Sound Devices recorders, so I obviously want the highest quality possible when listening to my portable setups most of the time!
