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...

Hoping to see what others think. I've been looking to get back into TT at around the $500 pricepoint for both TT and stylus....
I'm not saying this a good or a bad turntable. I'm saying that for certain situations it might be a great choice. And audiophiles don't always have the right answer. For very little money, you could be playing records. It is way better than anything by Crosley.
The Good: The looks, clearly. Not my style personally, but I totally see the draw. It has a nice retro vibe and is honestly quite clean and classy looking. Overall features are pretty good depending on what you want.
The Meh: Pretty much everything else. Nothing is horrible, yet nothing is outstanding for the price range. The needle, the motor, the platter, all very meh.
On a side note, having a USB output on a turntable is never worth it. Yeah, converting vinyl can be really great, but I'd ALWAYS recommend just getting an external interface, even a cheap $20-$20 like the Behringer U-Phono interface (because this will still be just as good as what they are putting in turntables and you don't pay the markup for having one stuck in your TT, plus you can convert other sources as well with an external..)
Better alternative within +/- $100: Pro-Ject Debut III, Pro-Ject Carbon (very good option), AT-LP120, Onkyo CP-1050 Direct-Drive TT, U-Turn Orbit Plus.
It all just comes down to what is really important for you. Being a decent turntable, I think many casual users will really be able to love this. If you really want to start getting picky about audio quality and precise playback I'd probably go with another option.
