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 GUI is very similar to those found in Cayin N5 and the FiiO X1, X3ii, X5, and X5ii DAPs but is is designed just a bit better for my tastes - seems more intuitive.
The scroll wheel / d-pad control is a bit controversial. I really like it as do most of the right-handed people I've loaned it to. It's a toss-up with the lefties, though. Some lefties are fine with it. Some have a hard time getting used to it. The reason I like it is that the controls are completely centralized and easily manipulated with just my thumb, and it's positioned such that I can maintain a very firm grip on the M5 while using the controls. After using the M5, it made me realize just how much more secure my grip is on it vs the touch wheel DAPs I've used. The one caveat is that because the volume is controlled by the wheel, you can't change volume while scrolling through menus. Dedicated volume buttons would be nice.
Firmware updates come fairly often and contain very nice upgrades like deep sleep, quick scrolling, replaygain functionality. It's nice to see Shanling listening to their customers and adding in very useful features over time.
