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.

My first headphone amp. I'm a little old school (well, more like totally) and initially didn't understand all this fuss over these amps. On my flight back to Canada, I used the amp function to watch onboard movies and the difference in clarity was night and day (on a pair of Samson SR850 32ohm, bought from MD at a super discount). Still had half battery after 3+ movies. Now use it as a PC DAC/amp (maybe I'm a little paranoid but I have to manage battery charging to red uce stress on the battery -- my 2.4A charger doesn't seem quite enough to keep it topped up while in use). Awesome device.
