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've not had it for to long to do any real testing but from what i can tel so far in my sort time testing it ,The Gain Configuration: 1.0x to 3.3x to me does not seem much louder what would be the reason for that ? ,I got this for gaming and for music ,
I have windows set to 100% vol tested in games+music all seems pretty low compared to the sound card amp . Which i have set to High gain 64~300ohm ,Maybe I am not setting some thing right with the AMP ?

So got my one today in UK ordered it with UK plug but end up getting a euro plug and its 240v with two pins not three pins as it should be in UK with 220v as I ordered so not to happy about that really .At to pay £36.68 tax on top of what i all ready paid here bring the price to £177.89 UK $253 ..
Before i say any thing I know this was made for music really and not really for gaming ,But people are still using them for gaming just wanted to be clear about that .
So my first impressions on this is not great so far ,Sound is clear if i were to compare with my sound card ASUS STX i would say the sound Quality is about the same not better in my honest opinion,If was to say which one was better i would say the sound card only because you can do way more tweaking with EQ ,
I know some of you may disagree with me for saying that but for me there is no day or night ,But clearly you are very limited to what you can do with an odac+amp over a sound card which lets you use EQ unless there is away to do that with the ODAC+AMP that I do not know about ? ,if so can some one tel me how please ..
I find that the ODAC+AMP as way two much bass for my ears and not very much treble ,When gaming i like more treble but for music more bass ,Treble brings the footsteps alive in games hehe :) As I all ready pointed out above ..
