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...

My ears are j***ing off in my man cave
EDIT: using a govibe dac/ amp box to power this
Smoking some real shit down here with hd6xx
One example: Sometimes a decrease in emphasis in the midrange can focus the listener's attention on the low end, which is one strategy used by companies that design detailed V-shaped headphones: They can create the impression of more bass by accentuating it without muddying the lower mids (since they're recessed).
My theory is that sheldonyong might be hearing a shift in the entire frequency range, which brings out certain qualities in the bass for him. Either that, or he's using an amp that's better at handling the DT880s' load (depending on what it is, which he hasn't told us).
Conventional audiophiles used to say that accurate bass is heard rather than felt, but telling people they shouldn't feel bass is like insisting they they haven't had a real orgasm unless they can remember it. No point in invalidating their pleasure in the name of exactitude (not that sheldonyong seems to mind new input).
Here's what I think you might be saying: "Your argument is completely wrong, so reading your post was a waste of time." (Though if you're attacking someone's argument, simply saying "your argument sucks" is an ineffective strategy. You're better off explaining why their argument doesn't work.)
I just noticed a two-page post by you about cable construction on this very thread, so I'm guessing you've got a better rebuttal in you and a detail-oriented POV.
About your earlier post: there's no such thing as "ruthless resolution." Used as a synonym for definition, resolution can mean an unforgiving (i.e., error-exposing) degree of detail, but resolution itself isn't actually cruel. Resolution isn't pursuing an agenda by any means necessary.
The problem with using that synonym at all in an audio context is that resolution means something else to musicians, audio engineers and consumers. In digital recording, resolution is tied to bit depth, which is why engineers rarely talk about it in any other sense.
