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 initial point still stands that in MY opinion, Ursine is the best cost to performance I have found for custom headphone cables. You are welcome to disagree, and I am welcome to disagree with your disagreement, and so on and so forth until the end of time.
Cables and their effect on sound is pretty subjective, with Cardas being one of the most egregious offenders for offering 'snake oil' cable solutions at extremely high prices. A higher cost does not correlate to better sound, just the perception of quality. Luckily consumers are becoming more savvy regarding this last point.
You really believe there would be nothing to hear in that experiment I refer to? Really? Ok. Do you believe that the construction of a USB cable has any audible effect on isochronous digital audio? You have every right to believe in absence of differences, but just pulling dubious crap off the web is lazy and boring. The irony that you are calling me someone who does not want to listen and that you are calling others emotional when this is meaningful enough for you to troll with you copy-and-paste narrative. Funny.
Next you're going to suggest that you actually possess the analylcal talents to break this all down mathematically because that explains it all.
Audible here THINKS he understands this stuff but I bet he's using electricity from a coal or natural gas power plant. Coal power only makes the bass sound muddy and the treble veiled. Solar electricity makes the sound too bright (duh). Hydroelectric power is the best for smooth, linear extension across the range :)
Coal power does muddy the midrange a bit, so you're partly correct. And yes, hydro is best.
Digital audio **IS** digital data. It's the same thing.
And dude, I was being facetious about the coal/hydroelectric thing. Differentiating by the type of power plant was just the stupidest vaguely smart-sounding thing I could think of.
"And dude, I was being facetious about the coal/..." No shit...'dude'.
