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 ditched the JBL L830s for the Arx at roughly this price point. The Arx XBL^2 drivers and ribbon tweeters bring speed, clarity, and imaging these JBLs can't match. For vocals-focused music, switching to the Arx design was like taking a sock off of my JBL speakers. There is also no comparison on driver throw and air movement if you run complex music or dubstep through them.
For reference the other half of the XBL^2 design is lead designer at Sonos. Chane unfortunately seems to lack the resources for marketing, so few know of them. The only way I found them was researching what happened to the XBL^2 design and designers.
Jon is a good guy and absolutely knows his stuff.

I'll need to be adding more speakers in the next year. A pair or two of 1.4s and I'd love some smaller satellites from Chane, too. I splurged and got a Power Sound Audio v1801 which levitate the whole house, so I won't be needing any big subs. Maybe a small one for the computer room.
I've been using the m200mkIII's they sell as my daily home theater speakers for seven years now and they're going strong, I have no intention of replacing them. These JBL's look pretty cool though and I wonder what they will sound like compared to the yamaha HS5's. Since these appear to be a one-off collaboration its not like we can A/B test them... not for awhile anyway.
I'd love to hear these JBLs. They used to make nice speakers but the L830 series were a letdown. Their softdomes just sucked to where I don't trust them anymore.
I still have a pair of 15 year okd Yamaha studio monitors. Very nice looking and decent sounding if a bit flat.
Now that I've gone electromagnetic-planar hybrids, I just can't seem to go back. Martin Logan, Goldenears, and Arx. Need some planar headphones! Though I did get some Chi-Fi earbuds here that were amazing for the price. Easier to carry than my Senns or VModas.
