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...

It seems that THX is on the box to indicate some sort of very low noise floor, so it would be nice to know more about that. I just see a bunch of marketing speak, and normally these days, high end 2 channel amps are not made with regard to THX specs because they far surpass them, and THX is really just minimal baseline.
Hopefully this product brings something new to the market, or just plain great sound would be nice. There seems to not be any way to know as of yet...
Most importantly, they had a working amp at their table. I was surprised at the sound... very open and transparent character, with a very black background and agile response, good impact like when I upgraded to giant capacitors in an old tube amp earlier in my head-fi days. I doubt it will beat TOTL offerings, but I bet first owners will find it punching above it’s price and size peers.
Just sharing what I heard. THX was looking to license their amp design, guess they partnered with Massdrop, though that would explain why Monoprice has a different but also THX amp on the way. The THX amps can actually be implimented small enough to be put into portables too, but maybe not this 789 model.
