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 read about folks having driver-issues with USB on windows that were solved by using optical input. What I'm unsure of is if that happens on Linux/if it even works, and if optical out is reasonable on Linux, if, everything else is equal, I should prefer one or the other. If it matters, this machine runs Debian and the motherboard (Asus X99E-WS) has onboard SPDIF out.
For me the TH-X00 really shine when paired with precise, flat, low impedance solid-state amps.
For what it's worth, JDS Labs is having a B-stock sale https://www.jdslabs.com/store#b-stock right now for even more savings.
Until then you can do what I do (and love as my office setup). The E10k + Grado 1/8 to 1/4 adapter cable which solves for the 1/8 jack issue http://amzn.to/29eTuht I rarely if ever unplug the Grado cable and just use it's 1/4 plug. Works perfectly.
The 12678 isn't nearly large enough for most full-sized headphones especially when you consider the protective padding. 12678 = 8 x 7 x 4 inches 10620 = 10 x 9 x 7 inches
It's snug as it is (which is what you want): http://imgur.com/gallery/LQrwq/
It's awesome though! And the cheapest way to put together a seriously protective case similar to Audeze or MrSpeakers.
