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.

If they are passive and you send speaker wire to them from an amp, then what impedance rating are the bookshelf speakers? Usually speakers are 4-16 ohm. Headphones are usually 16-600ohm. Headphone amps are not designed to power speakers because they usually lack the current capability to really power to the speaker. However if your bookshelf speakers are 16-32ohm, and they are passive design, then it is possible this headphone amp *could* power them. Andrew said that the amp has a limitter at 0.9 amps of current
They are sold powered. I'm also not sure if I should look for something with balanced outputs or not.
If you have a hum issue, it is more likely from a grounding problem where you have the speaker power plugged in to rather than interference in the RCA input line.
