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...

They're basically saying that the line-level gain in the 2i2 is very low (because the input pads, whatever those are, are too small), and that the 2i4 does away with this problem. That and the MIDI are enough for me to pay $25 more.
^ From first hand experience.
That being said, if you're not direct-recording (and using mic -> amp) - no problemo.
#### 2i4 Instrument Frequency Response 20Hz - 20kHz +/- 0.1dB THD+N 0.0025% (‘A’ weighted measured with 16dB input gain, -1dBFS at output and 22Hz/22kHz bandpass filter) Noise -87dBu (22Hz/22kHz bandpass filter) Gain Range +10dB to +55dB (0dB to +45dB when pad is engaged) Max Input Level +3dBu (+13dBu pad in)
#### 2i2 Instrument Frequency Response 20Hz - 20kHz +/- 0.1dB THD+N -72dB (measured at minimum gain with -1dBFS signal and 20Hz-20kHz bandpass filter) Noise -87dBu (22Hz/22kHz bandpass filter) Gain Range -4dB to +46dB Max Input Level +4dBu
