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...

1. Small portable unit to carry around (I carry mine to the office) 2. You want to bypass an Apple device's built-in DAC and AMP to better power bigger cans (anything up to 250 ohm)
The chassis is almost 99% metal, with some rubber parts to grip the surface that it's on. Very sturdy though the sharp edges can be uncomfortable to hold and may damage your phone if you're not careful. Sound wise, it's very clean when used with headphones (no experience with IEMs, sorry), and provides ample volume to my Beyerdynamic T90 and Oppo PM3. I mostly hook it up to my Macbook Pro and occasionally iPhone 6 Plus. I paid $199 for mine so at $149, it's a bargain if you want a portable unit. Just don't expect to drive big planars and 600 Ohm dynamics. Those will need a higher powered amps.
