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 are fairly easy to install -- if you tell them you are a first-time customer they will give you a break on the first order.
I'd also recommend NewClassD's opamps, though they are even more expensive. Still like Sparko's better for they seem to excel in the lows, NewClassD may be revealing a tiny fraction more details. We're talking such a small difference, hardly any, really, one can't go wrong with either of those. And I'd put both above Burson, just my opinion again.
There's no soldering involved, just get a pair of tweezers, pull the OEM ones and insert the new in their place. H20 is a beast, and with discrete opamps like those it delivers some serious sound, I dare say it beats just about anything within $2-2.5K,
P.S. Forgot to mention that you should exercise care when replacing the opamps and make sure the you position them exactly as the original ones were positioned - there's a half-circle notch on one side that should match the opamp's base, or simply note how the OEM were plugged in and plugged the Sparko's the same way.
