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 eventually wound up with a British Quad 306 amp with a 34 pre amp, Axiom reference speakers and a walker turntable. Life was great until someone slammed the door, sending the Nagaoka cartridge skipping across the vinyl. Many may think me crass but I welcomed digital audio with more enthusiasm than most. Vinyl to me is a pain, the upkeep is high and there are too many other issues. The original Nak CD player had it's issues but it was a definite improvement (IMHO)
Fast forward many years. I'm 71 and I run an Anthem MRX710 with PSB mini centre and satellites with a Paradigm sub All of my music is run through a Bluesound Vault (FLAC). My headphones HIFIMAN 400i's are run through a Schiit Audio Asgarde2.
Elgars Pomp and Circumstance #5, The RAF Band rendering The Dambusters March Past, Patsy Cline, Buddy Holly, CCR, Willie, Paul Simon, The Stones, Iggy Azalia, Weeknd, better than being there!
The Anthem can kick into surround and blow you away in a TV or movie fire fight and it can rock your world with a fair degree of musical accuracy!
