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...

Edit: I also personally really like the SDAC's implementation of the AK4452 over almost every AK4490 implementation I've heard. I don't know exactly why? Maybe it just sounds more musical to me? Not that the 4490's I've heard sound bad, or like... clinical. They're just, maybe slightly less warm? Sound is really subjective. To my ears though, the SDAC is really easy to listen to, and I've had it plugged into my Aune X7s for musical enjoyment over every other DAC I own, which isn't many (4, I think), but I prefer the sound of the SDAC enough to get the balanced one, so I hope that says a lot.
Lol. I love this little combo with the 6XX and the 58X tbh. Though, I love those headphones in general.
Once you get it, report back and let us know what you think!
A side question, how would you compare your 6XX to the 58X? I love my 58X (in fact prefer it to the K7XX on the Fulla 2), but still, the HD6XX(650) is just so iconic and I can't stop thinking about getting one...
I personally feel like the 6XX has more bass impact than the 58X and to me, the 6XX feels more resolving, but don't ask me to quantify. That said, I listen to the 6XX pretty infrequently. I don't feel bad taking the 58X to work, as opposed to the 200 dollar 6XX...
But I personally like both and I don't think that one is necessarily better than the other. However, I think that 58X is a great starter, but the 6XX will scale more with upstream gear.
I wholly agree though, the SDAC sounds very, well, clean. But yeah m,an, no problems. Most of us are still learning, and I'm by no means an expert, Just a beginner who's starting to understand what his ears like. :)
