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...

Creative: Bring back the free bluetooth dongle, offer white speaks and/or announce a newer model with built-in bluetooth, a remote and DSD compatibility. I can wait.
Bluetooth transmission (e.g., for wireless headphones) is one of the X7's most requested features, which is why the CreativeLabs rep acknowledged as much during a previous drop. The comment probably appears on this very thread, but toward the beginning.
I don't actually own the X7 LE but have come so close to buying one in the past that I have the app installed on my S7 Edge. Even so, I still think Creative Labs should include their own remote, if only to allow us to program a universal remote to supersede it.
My main request is one that I hope won't get lost in this discussion: DSD. CreativeLabs included it in their new $4,000 Atmos soundbar (which they don't call a soundbar), the X-Fi Sonic Carrier, but a fair number of companies have also included it in >$400 DAC/amps.
When I wrote "bring back the bluetooth dongle," I thought members would realize I was talking about X7 drops before the last two, in which the Creative Labs BT-W2 was the extra perk. But people have joined Massdrop at various times over the years, and not everyone has been here since the site's inception. If I'd written "bring back the bluetooth dongle from previous drops," then perhaps you'd have gotten a sense of the history to which I alluded.
DSD is an important feature for people who listen to high-end audio files.
It will be interesting to see whether the Sound Carrier has a trickle-down features effect on updates to Creative Lab's other products, esp. the X7 or its successor. It will also be interesting to see whether budget products compete with the SC over the next four years, triggering more competitive pricing.
