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...

Another thing I found is about the "centre position" of the Sonus Faber seems to be off to the left side as well as out of focus, this situation is quite prominent and can be easily picked up by switching between presets (e.g. Magico Q3 vs Sonus Faber) while listening to Hotel California.
Just my two cents, hope it make some contribution to the community as well as the developer.
Overall performance of this program is really amazing, keep it up.
I just checked the PBN preset on my Windows system using JRiver Media Center's internal volume output set to 90% volume level and the input levels in the Out Of Your Head Control Panel set to 100%. Even watching a 7.1 action movie, during loud explosions I was not able to get any clipping on the PBN preset. Perhaps you can try lowering the output volume of your media player instead of the input volume on the Out Of Your Head preset.
I will further investigate the Sonus Faber preset for center channel accuracy. It's possible that there is an error. It's also possible that you are hearing a different with your HRTF or ear shape too. The center channel is the most difficult channel to get to work well.
Thank you for posting your comments.
