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...

It's like most (not all thankfully) Chinese restaurants. They make the food cheap and generic and people still buy the food. FiiO seems to have done the same with their line. Man am I glad I bought two E17 ALPENs a few years back ... still the best!
Actually that's all an exaggeration. I suspect the hardware quelity is comparable today as to the past. My issue is the path they've taken with the software. Seriously, why did FiiO do away with full bass & treble. I never don't use it.
All this is moot. E17 Alpen is no longer sold. (hope it is understood I am NOT talking about what is named the E17K of today, which I also would no longer buy) Been streaming to my E17 over spdif from a D3 dap for years. Full tone control in the analog domain is great to have.
Used to be a fiio fan. Don't like what they did with their dac/amps last few years.
