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...

So it is not a bug, it is a feature. My sub has hi level in and out so I was able wire it differently and get around the problem. It seems to me that most people would not want the sub live when in headphone mode though...
Hello Thank you for contacting TOPPING support. We are happy to assist. Your MX3 is normal. We do this is because some users will use MX3 as a pre-amplifier, they will connect the power amplifier from the headphone jack, and they need subwoofer output at the same time. So if you need to use headphone only, please pull out the subwoofer output.

while I wait for my MX3 to show up, I can debate whether I want to look at a sight of a passive switch box - for the life of the MX3 - as a way to remedy this unfortunate implementation of features
I do this for a different reason, but it might help here too. I have my Desktop monitors (JBL LSR 30X), my DAC/AMP (NFB-11) and sub-woofer all on separate pulgs with wireless remotes. So if I don't want my sub playing at night I jut hot a button and it powered off.
Also as the rest of the gear has the power button at the rear, making it a pain to turn on and off, I just leave them on and use to remote to tun them on/off. When I powering off my NFB-11 my PC defaults back to it on board audio, which I use for general computing. Turning on my NFB-11 I I get higher quality audio. Then I can turn on the sub If i really want to feel the thump. Luckily I got them remotes all on three different channels (A, B, C).
Perhaps this is a viable solution for you.
