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 also have the HD 6XX and between the 2 I prefer my K7XX for gaming. When it comes to music I'm more partial to 6XX. I use them both through my (magni 3/modi 2 uber) Schiit Stack.
If you're looking for an alternative check out the Sennheiser GAME ONE. I thought about getting those since the mic and audio reviews are good. As for adding a mic to the K7XX the modmic 5 reviews I listened to sounded very good. I suggest listening to the mics and checking out reviews on YouTube.
I did try out the Schiit Fulla 2 with my K7XX and they worked very well together. It's a $99 DAC/Amp combo that runs off usb and they offer a trial period with restocking fee. If you do any console gaming the Fulla works with PlayStation which is pretty cool.
I'm very happy with these headphones and they blow all the "gaming" headphones I've had out of the water. Remember that this is just all my opinion and sound is subjective! I hope any of this helps!
I think audio source and amp are important so I use them with my magni 3/modi 2 uber Schiit stack. I used optical out from my PS4 to my stack and played The Last of Us. Again my K7XX sounded amazing with the same results as my comparison for D2.
I honestly don't think you can go wrong with these headphones as long as you give them the proper audio source and amp they deserve.
Sometimes I purposely choose to use my 7XX over my 7.1 Polk Audio RTi series and Pioneer Elite setup. That says a lot about the 7XX. If I had one other complaint, it would be that, I wish the 7XX had more bass for gaming.
