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 am planning to buy an external dac/amp in the future, what can you gents suggest in a 200$ below price point?
I suggest the O2+whatever DAC you like to drive it with for HE4xx. That should fit your budget well.
HE4xx are quite efficient for planar cans, but they are still current hogs. Phones typically can't supply the current they need and since LG won't publish their output specs, you can only guess. Given that battery life would kill sales on their device as much as if not more than terrible audio quality, it's a much safer guess that they put a weak output amp in there.
In the end though: If you like the way it sounds, go with it. I just recommend that if you're looking for better audio from a phone, you get yourself some nice sensitive/low impedance IEMs rather than looking at full sized cans. You'll probably be happier with the pairing.
Those darkvoice look sick. I'll research more on those tube types.
Method 1: The Root Method. (Method I use and it is free) Root you phone and get ViPER4Android XiHifi for one. Then there are also apps to turn off and on "high impedance mode" or you can leave it on 24/7.
Method 2: The Adapter Method. (Costs money) Go out and buy a Low to High Impedance Adapter. This method costs money but you don't have to Root your device.
