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...

You won't have any volume issues, however they won't sound their best without an amp. I ran mine off my sound card for a while and thought they sounded fine. Then I got an amp and I realized that I wasn't hearing them the way they were meant to be heard.
Just remember that when people talk about how good these cans sound, they're assuming you're using an appropriate amp. Without the amp, you may find yourself wondering what all the hubbub is about.
Get yourself a decent external dac+amp , like the Schiit Magni+Modi or the O2+ODAC .
Or get a different headphone that doesn't require proper amplification or a good dac.
For almost double the price, they are easier to drive and less picky with amps. they also have more bass.
if you want a smoother, warmer presentation - get a standalone o2 with the schiit modi .
