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 just received my HD6XX yesterday and just plug it into my Edifier C3 amplifier(an desktop speaker + amplifier set).It can drive the HD6XX at fairly loud volume that is loud enough for my music consumption. But I found the HD6xx is lacking in bass in most of the songs (i mostly consume pop music). I know HD6xx is a more neutral headphone, but the bass is just too weak for my favour at this moment.
Is this because my HD6xx is underpowered by C3 amplifier? Will an O2 amp helps boosting bass and make HD6xx sound better???
I am considering an external amp but i am not sure how big an improvement will this make
This is indeed helpful to know that lacking in bass is one of the symptom in under-amplification.
I will consider buying an external amp. At the sub $100 price range, is there any better option than the Massdrop O2?
I am new to the audiophile game so please forgive some of my non-sense.
