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...

I use it at home (or at the office) when I want to listen through my phone but don't want to plug an amp/dac into AC power or rely on my phone battery for power (the nano has a rechargeable battery BUT can also run off power from your phone/computer if desired).
You'll need a similar adapter to the dragonfly, I believe (I run off Android and needed the female USB -> micro USB OTG cable). Easily purchased on Amazon for a few bucks.
I run this with my 6xx's and HiFiMan 4xx's - drives them both beautifully and is a noticable improvement over a simple FiiO amp (no dac) that I had been using. Needless to say, it's night and day when compared to just my phone or PC.
Cost on the nano is ~$200.
