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 you don't have all of that stuff or have no idea what any of that stuff even is, then the Blue Yeti is a better choice of mic that's much more easier to work with. It has its own stand, and connects via USB directly to your computer so you don't have to finagle with all this extra hardware if you don't want to.
To be honest, I think the very first thing I should have realized is what the goal of having a microphone was for you. If you're just looking for a decent microphone that's quick and easy to use for recording something like voice-over on a video, making simple acoustic covers of music, or in-game VoIP chat on PC then acquiring a ribbon microphone would be getting a little ahead of ourselves.
Diaphragm USB mics like the Blue Yeti would be a safer option overall, being resilient and simpler to use while capturing a nice clear tone that accomplishes all of those tasks you wanted!
Thanks for your input!
