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.

For reference, my anchored head-fi setup is a Schitt ygg DAC I send FLAC (lossless) files to that feeds either a KGST electrostatic amp that feeds my Stax SR-007A headphones, or that DAC feeding my dynamic headphone setup which is a Woo WA7 amp (I don't use the DAC built into the Woo) and Fostex TH900's.
Don't get me wrong, these aren't of the caliber of the above, but for this kind of money they are REALLY good and a lot of fun. I use them in the kitchen or in the bathroom getting ready before the family is up.
