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...

My suggestion to anyone buying these cans would be first and foremost, get a good DAC/Amp. I have the Schiit Stack (spread in my case), and they drive the K7XX's perfectly. Just over half way is plenty loud enough on high gain.
Second, use a good audio source. I use MusicBee. I rip all my CD's in FLAC format via MB, and then I play them using the WASAPI plugin direct to the DAC. Absolutely blown away.
The best compliment to the Oculus Rift is a great audio source. Now I have the best I could hope for in visual and sound.
These headphones are worth every penny and some. The asking price of the Anniversary Addition was $450, I can see why now. These headphones sound like $450
I had the Fiio E10K and sent it back after 2 days as the sound was muffled, and generally poor compared to the Fiio E10 and other DAC's I have had. This is in no way comparing other Fiio products as I have the Fiio X1 which is a brilliant DAC/Music Player. Comparing the Schiit Stack to the E10K is a bit unfair because of the price difference, but suffice to say, the Schiit Stack is a different animal. The sound quality is far superior. A lot cleaner, with plenty of headroom to run your high Ohm headphones. The K7XX's sound awesome on it. A match made in Heaven.
