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...

Is $250 your total cap for everything? I can't really comment on the G6 itself but lets assume that's a pretty good option.
For ease of setup, minimal cabling, etc I'd recommend Senn PC37x + G6
For pure performance in a "competitive setting" I'd recommend AD900x +G6+Modmic.
After Infinity Ward fell apart I kind of lost interest in competitive console play (I never really gave Titan Fall the focus it likely deserved), but my favorite setup at the time was with the AT-AD700 with a custom mic attached (antlion was around, but the modmic was not an extremely popular option at the time, nor was it as good as the product they sell now) with a mixamp and DH enabled. It's a bit simpler on pc as I use a desk mic and whatever cans I have within reach, less cable management worry and dac/amp already on hand to power whatever I need. After the ps3/360 generation and the inclusion of TRRS on the controller I "downsized" to a Senn PC360 G4ME (this has been like 7 years now since I bought this headset) and even used it for PC play with a basic Fiio D5 and it still easily outperformed any Astro/TB combo I ever tried. I'd be using that today but I had some projects that required higher fidelity with my Mic setup and moved to a desk mic on a boom.
