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...

With either headphone, I give the clear nod to the M8. Sub-bass is just a little more powerful and tighter, and the overall sound is more "holistic" to me, at least with small lineups like most jazz and blues bands (the jury's still out on densely packed rock and orchestral works).
I have a bunch of Schiit gear (Fulla, Magni 2, Modi 2, Bifrost Multibit, Lyr 2) and am predisposed to liking the brand's, well, schiit. The U.S.-built equipment may well be constructed better than its Chinese competition (I'm just guessing, admittedly), but from a purely sonic POV, I easily prefer the M8 over the Modi 2.
By the way, I'm playing my M8 without the P1 power supply (using the M8 wall wart for now, because I have some incompatibility issue that I'm trying to work out with the seller of the P1). But I suspect that using the P1, once I get it to work, might improve things even more in the M8's favor.
