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...

If your main focus is gaming and you absolutely need the whiz-bang surround processing (or other effects) but don't have any particularly power hungry headphones/headsets, the GSX 1000 may be a good fit for you. Sennheiser states in the spec sheets that the GSX 1000 is recommended for 16-150 ohm headphones. I personally wouldn't recommend the GSX 1000 for audiophiles who want to use higher impedance cans and/or focus on music.
It’s best to follow the printed instructions. I didn’t the first time, and I was really disappointed until I figured it out.
I also have a Cavalli Liquid Carbon, connecting that to the GSX 1000’s headphone output and a balanced pair of HD 800 has the huge soundstage and great imaging you would expect from an overkill setup. The sound isn’t quite as crisp and realistic as it is when I use my Chord Mojo as a DAC, but I wouldn’t expect the GSX to at half the price of the Mojo.
