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...

The Rode NT1-A received the 2004 Editor's Choice Award from Electronic Musician Magazine for best mic under $600. Here's the award statement: http://www.emusician.com/gear/1332/electronic-musician-2004-editors-choice-awards/33552 Microphone (under$600)
RØDE NT1-A ($349)
A number of notable mics costing less than $600 shipped in 2003,including Blue's Ball phantom-powered dynamic and Audix's D6 kick-drummic. But we chose the large-diaphragm, fixed-cardioid Røde NT1-Abecause it represents an amazing value.
The NT1-A didn't take us entirely by surprise: Røde has builtits reputation by making high-quality, affordable microphones. But evenwith the company's history of success in that area, the NT1-A isperhaps Røde's most outstanding achievement from aprice-performance standpoint.
Although it's an offshoot of the NT1, the NT1-A is completelyredesigned on the inside and benefits from new manufacturing processes.One of the mic's most astonishing attributes is its incredibly quietoperation: it has a self-noise spec of 5 dBa, one of the lowest for anymic anywhere. Considering the NT1-A's $349 list price, that spec iseven more remarkable.
But specs only tell part of the story. Ultimately the way to judge amic is by its sound, and our reviewer was knocked out by the NT1-A'ssonic performance. From acoustic guitars to guitar amplifiers to vocalsto percussion, the NT1-A excelled in every application for which it wastested, and it handled high-SPL sources without a problem. Anyoneseeking an affordable large-diaphragm condenser for their studio shouldnot fail to listen to the versatile NT1-A.
