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...

Thoughts? Recommendations?
Take for instance the lowest pedal C on a pipe organ. A 64' stop will not be perceived as a sound, but affects how we hear that same pedal when the 32' is sounding an octave above. The interaction of harmonics is how we identify tone, rather than merely pitch.
20 to 20Khz has been the standard for audio equipment for a long time. However, there is gear which now expands those parameters and I have never had the opportunity to experience those options 'first ear.'
Just because the fundimental, or overtones, of a given pitch can't be 'heard' doesn't mean that it has no effect on what we actively do perceive.
So, I'm back to the original question of whether the expanded frequency response results in an audible difference.
I personally believe, from both perspectives, that the answer to your question is Yes. With the caveat that your headphones need to be able to resonate adequately.
It's a good price for the item. I believe it to be worth the try.
Thank you for your reply. Since I ordered my HD 6XX headphones I finally came to a face-palm DUH moment. I've been playing my CDs on a Blu-ray player. Checking the manual, it didn't even list the sonic specs when playing a CD. Well, that's not good!
To take the next step, I purchased a dedicated Onkyo CD player which has a frequency response starting at 4 Hz. It also has a headphone jack with volume control. That will give me a chance to burn in the headphones and explore their sonic capabilities. The unit has a full array of outputs, analog and digital, so I will have many options of how I choose to proceed.
I'm looking forward to my first listening of the Saint-Saens "Organ" Symphony.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
mmmmmmmmm, TASTY!
great choice.
