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...

What are you trying to drive with it?
Also, are you on the 3.5mm jackless iphone or do you actually have onboard audio gear? If not you'll want something that has a DAC in it as well.
Always more details to keep track of.
You could use the included dongle as your decoder and not have to worry about lightning compatibility to drive something like FiiO A5 or A3.
If you want a DAC in the same unit, the FiiO Q1 mkii should work.
I suppose since we're here, on Massdrop, I should also point out that they do drop amps like the ones we've been talking about periodically. If you're patient you can get a great deal on something here.

Spend most of my time on full sized cans near a desk, so no need really. Every now and again I find myself on a trip somewhere that it would be nice to have for though. So far I've enjoyed my CEntrance DACPort Slim driven by my absurdly huge battery pack phone case for the same purposes though.
So, not sure where the Oppo really fits in to my sitch--guess I'll have to keep trying to find some way?
