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.

No mention of battery here and no details on the "big capacity battery" on the manufacturer's product page[1] or in the manual[2], which seems like a rather big oversight for a mobile device, but there are some response curves including one for frequency response above 20 Hz on this device advertised as "10 Hz–100 kHz".
The "USB" support details give little confidence in the DAC support. There is a Zip download which suggests proprietary driver for the limited versions of the two platforms mentioned, neither of which is the platform running on your mobile device. It may work with your Android, iOS or other USB Audio capable device, but apart from mentioning that they package a USB C cable the manufacturer doesn't seem to think it worth mentioning. We probably have to rely on support for the chip.
This may be a good portable DAC+Amp for some easily driven headphones, but the manufacturer is less than forthcoming on some most important details compared to some of their competitors.
