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 MX3 is likely to join my collection because it has a sub out for my speakers that my SMSL AD18 dosen't.
UPDATE: Apparently one of the optical it's doubles 3.5mm to dual RCA for a subwoofer out on newer AD18 models (unfortunately not my model). Still might get the MX3 For comparison purposes (joined the drop).
In both cases they are more powerful then the MX3 for headphones. The Schitt AMP is much more powerful at 2w (2000mW) @32ohms and the O2 is something around 600mW @32ohmd. The MX3 is 257mW @32ohms.
Will the MX3 get the job done, probable (depending on your headphones) but if you just need a headphones AMP, is sick to a dedicated headphones AMP. It's really a speaker AMP with headphones capabilities.
I prefer my AMP to have some real power, so it can drive what I ow now and may own down the road.
The MX3 is really a speaker amp though and headphone is an afterthought.
AudioSciencereview is measurement obsessed in not quite convinced that measuring something and hearing something are 100% the same.
I will admit I've never been sold on Schiit for some reason this do not own one of their products. I do however own some Audio-GD that I like and enjoy that is afternoon considered poor measuring by the audioscience people.
I do plan at some point to compare my audio-GD great to some audio science review approved gear and decide for my self.
