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...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

A decent set of IEMs
I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Plus: Good sound for its price. Silent no hissing.
Conclusion: I do have many other higher costing players and I wouldn't personally use this. Just bought it to see whats it all about. I highly recommend saving up more $ for a better player for an everyday to use unit.
So effectively you are saying a $30k Honda is horrible and should not be bought because it isn't nowhere as nice as a $300k Ferrari. And that we all should just save up to buy a Ferrari? No ****! Way to objectively review apples to apples there, buddy /Sarcasm.
It is awesome you you have money to burn where you can just buy things for shits and giggles, but not everyone is like that?
If you can live with its flaws and nuisances then NOBODY is STOPPING you. Actually NOBODY is stopping you from getting it anyway! I've tested it against the very budget cheapies too fyi. I certainly am not putting against the standards of the pro class. You'd be an idiot as your understanding to do that.
It will sufficiently drive any IEMS, and CANS such as a Philips SHP 9500 and the likes (to a restricted safe volume.). Just a comparison between a Sandisk SANSA lying around, the Sandisk wins by a quite a margin on volume.
What I am suggesting is... On the budget category..... I would save a little more.. (example.. double the costs of a X770C) if it means easier to use, better amp, if flac is important to you.
As I said if you are willing to put up with the flaws of this X770C and have a well suited iem or CANs to match it and this is all you can afford.... it is best bang for the $.
I actually did buy the player on the last drop with full knowledge of its drawbacks :) Thus far it is been awesome for it is and its intended purpose since I don't always want/need my other "higher costing players" (which to me does not automatically mean pro class).
But I also stand by my comment. My logic was only as flawed as the original narrative of comment it was in reply to :) There were no objective baselines for the subjective impressions except may be inferences that higher grade equipment is better (however, personally $200 is no longer a budget category and comes with additional set of expectations).
I am probably should have asked you to elaborate first instead of getting snarky but I probably read too many Head-Hi comments where everything gets compared to standards of latest and greatest widgets and sucks if it is not LOL As always everything is relative.
