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...

Either way, I seriously doubt you can notice the difference. I did a test once and I I don't think I could pick up a difference until 3dB and that was at a single tone and just noticeable. If a single frequency was off by 3dB in a song I doubt I would notice.
Personally at this price I think your getting a good deal. My advice unless there is an obvious problem, just listen and enjoy.
I personally interpreted it with the "other speaker" always being the 0dB line. So when we're looking at speaker A (the blue line), speaker B is implicitly the flat 0dB line. Whereas when we're looking at speaker B (the orange line), speaker A is implicitly the flat 0dB line. It's almost like two separate graphs overlaid on top of one another.
Regardless, the LSR30X really are a yummy sounding pair of powered monitors, especially when setup properly. Yes, there's a slight amount of "white noise" that I can hear up to a meter or two away when nothing is playing. In my case, the amount of hiss is the same for all settings of the input trim except for "0" (all of the way down) where it goes away completely with a faint "tick". They benefit from a little room gain, so placing them one to two feet from the rear or side walls and having your head < 3ft from the wall behind you will help to fill out the bass. The highs are not harsh or fatiguing. Off axis response sounds like it is well behaved (as you'd expect from JBL).
Many thanks to Massdrop for setting up this drop and then offering us such a great price. Even at the original price, the LSR30X offer excellent value for money, but I'm glad I caught them at this price and didn't have to wait too long for them to arrive. Cheers and happy listening!
I agree that something was lost in the semantics, but that's the only way that graph makes sense. They printed the difference signal as compared to the other speaker twice (making speaker A and then speaker B arbitrarily completely flat) rather than once. Probably an assembly line guy assigned the fun task of running the graph, not a speaker engineer.
