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 think the scroll wheel is a bit tedious for moving through the long playlist, but I don't need to do it very often. For navigating my folders (Genre/Artist/Album) it's fine. I also think the scroll wheel is a potential point of mechanical failure but again, I don't use it much. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like touch sensitive controls (e.g., Cayin N3) as much, especially doing "no look" while driving.
I like the sound of the unit. I don't know if it's the AK4490 DAC I like the sound of, or the implementation, but it's a nice, full sound, detailed but not etched. It will drive the HD6XX adequately but I seldom use it that way as I don't consider the HD6XX portable. When I use it with my HD6XX, I run it line out into a Vali 2 running one of my 6F8G tubes to drive them and it sounds great.
