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...

Anyways, now that I've gone thru the shitty experience, and great pains to finally get my EIE Pro working properly, I'm still going to stick it out, but if you look at this M-Track Quad unit and compare it to the EIE PRo, its almost the same exact product, without the VU meters and a more vertically compact shape. Makes you wonder.
Something to ponder is all...
Akai does not own M-Audio, they are separate companies that are a part of a large corporation called InMusic Brands. They do not to my knowledge share technology. There are licensing and copyright issues as I understand, so despite the physical similarities that is as far as they go.
As for Mac compatibility issues, I have seen nor heard of none myself. If you have a link to share please do and I will look into it. When I have seen these both used, multiple times, it was with a Mac every time. No issues arose to my recollection, but maybe there has been a change since then.
I have reached out to InMusic for more information and will surely pass it along once I hear back. Thanks for the post and I will update the drop when I hear back, thanks!
While there are design similarities, physical and otherwise, these were developed independently and have different internal hardware. The preamps on the Quad are superior for one. Also the Mac issues, which the Akai EIE had, have been resolved and are not a factor with the Mtrack Quad.
I am sorry I do not have more, but I hope it helps answer your questions. Feel free to post anymore questions if you have them anytime!
