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...

But the beauty of this product being software is that you can try it fro yourself and be the judge. It's not like hardware where you have to either buy it or get a loan before you can do a snake oil test. With Out Of Your Head , you can do your own testing before you buy anything and see if it does what we claim for you and your system. If not, no problem. I know it's not for everyone and it sounds different to different ears.
All we ask is that people try it for themselves either with just the online video demo or download the trial.
If you still don't care for it, that's fine.

I haven't used it much for music but for 5.1 and 7.1 movies it is remarkable. Have been waiting for this drop to roll back around.
If you are hearing clipping during louder parts of the audio source material, then the best way to avoid that is to turn down the internal volume control on you media player app. Not all media player apps have internal volume control.
For example, in JRiver, you must set it's volume control to "internal" mode and then adjust the JRiver volume down until you no longer hear clipping.
If your media player volume does not actually change the volume level feeding into Out Of Your Head, then you can adjust the input levels down in the Out Of Your Head Control Panel. Just know that the levels you set are saved with each preset separately so you will have to adjust the input levels for each preset.
If the clipping or distortion is happening even during software passages of audio, then you may have to "reset" your output device. To do this, the easiest way is to switch back and forth between output devices listed in the Out Of Your Head Control Panel. Often I suggest enabling your built-in audio device so that you can see both your DAC and the built-in audio at the same time in Out Of Your Head. Then switch between the two of those. We are working on fixing that bug, but it's hard because it's intermittent.
