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.

Do I believe people hear subjective differences in DACs. Yes, I do. I also believe people are healed by placebo. What's the difference between DACs and placebo? Not much.
