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...

I ask because, for example, the Zoom H4n has balanced mic inputs but even with high quality mics the noise floor was terrible compared to the Sony PCM-M10 when using a 3.5mm mic of comparable quality.
So, features aren't the only thing that matter for the price.
That being said; some surprisingly good recordings have been made with either device. Of course to accomplish this you must be fully aware of whatever shortcomings each device has, and use it accordingly
There's something very special about raw DSD in capturing my cymbal sound that I haven't heard yet with any other format. I just wish DSD offered more EQ'ing/editing features without having to transcode over to PCM.
I'm about to wrap up a tour tomorrow here in Denver on the last night of 4 different cities. My only regret is I haven't whipped out my recorder but sometimes I prefer to leave it alone as bringing out the recorder puts another psyche on the music that isn't always conducive to having the best, most sincere performance.
Thanks for sharing and I wish you many great recordings for the future! All the best to you too, friend...
