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 have a hard time believing these could be better than the Master Class 2504 with a small amplifier, for example. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/centrance-master-class-2504-speakers
Dimensions for MasterClass 2504 (LxWxH): 8.15 x 5.71 x 9.06 inches Dimensions for G One (LxWxH): 7.69 x 4.75 x 4.5 inches
If we only consider volume, the MasterClass 2504 is 2.5x larger than the G One. There is no denying that the G One is one compact speaker but the MasterClass 2504 is by no means a large speaker ~ its footprint is fractionally wider than an 8.5x11 inch piece of paper folded in half and at 9 inches tall, it's the same height as the Creative Gigaworks T20 which is known as being a compact yet good 2.0 speaker system. If we compare the footprints (LxW) of the G One and the MasterClass, we see that the MasterClass 2504 is only needs ~27% more space.
Unless there was a strict vertical constraint, I don't think 5 inches or 9 inches matters all that much. If we start considering manufacturer recommendations for placement, these differences in physical dimensions start to matter even less ~ Both Genelec and CEntrance recommend using a stand of some kind to elevate the speakers above the plane of the desk and leaving several inches of space around the speakers for best sound. Also, while I haven't compared these two speakers side by side, I would imagine that the G One's rear-firing bass port would need more room behind the speaker than the MasterClass 2504's front-firing port.
Hmm. It's kind of funny ~ I initially mentioned the MasterClass 2504's because there were offered here on MassDrop, but after typing this up, I might have convinced myself to get a pair.
