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...

Although, I have to say, the headband on the HD650 is very comfortable. You probably wouldn't need to change it out once you try it out. In terms of comfort, the biggest issue with these headphones is the clamping force at the sides of your head. It'll feel uncomfortable (like a vice grip) until you've fully broken them in.
Mine are 17 years old. Excellent condition. New headband pad and ear pads in the last year. Also upgrade to the HD600 cable as it needed a new cable after all those years. Still have the original HD580 cable which works well, just needs a refresh.
@OCBob How are you using them all?
I want to start having a feel of tubes and in the future maybe some tube rolling. I see you have a Little Dot MKII and Valhalla 2. I currently have a Jotunheim as well and am not sure on the best tube option. Love Schiit products (always makes me smile) or should I branch out?
Your advice would be really appreciated!

Would be great if you can take the time here and there .Koss ESP-950 Electrostatics sound moat interesting?

Really enjoy your style, thought and summation kind Sir.
Never really looked into Electrostatics although now I am. I have been looking up the Koss ESP-950 Electrostatics and the design to me is awesome and intriguing. I jabe looked in to Staxx several times and looking at the price I am doing what must be a reasonably standard headphone and improvements to lossless music files and with ever increasing disk space, that wall I used to hit has been taken down. I want to try all types of headphones and how they deliver the sound into your ear. I have a thing where I think if someone can answer a question they would of used it for a period of time. Obviously the more mus8c hardware knowledge you build up, the better your explanation of how they sound. Not sure what a real audiophile is, but me choosing my Sennheiser HD580 Precision on my 16th birthday changed music and how I listen to you it forever. My love relationship has just increased over the last 17 years.
You say that the Koss Electrostatic works very well with jazz, classical, singer/songwriter, adult contemporary, and classic rock all of which I listen to regularly.....I have always had the opinion that all headphones can produce sound, just certain headphones produce sound in such a manner that makes them exceptional for certain types. This reasoning is deployed when being asked why I need more than 1, 3, 5, 7 different headphones. The music makes me!!
Would like to get in touch with tou but nit MD. Are you on Head fi?
Thank you very much indeed! :)
