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.

I was initially disappointed with this device, but after 24 hours, the disappointment considerably lessened, and after 48, I became as a happy camper. The initial culprit may have been the set of headphones that had not undergone the factory's recommended burnin from the factory's rebuild/upgrade. Regardless, the quality of sound that is now heard is superior to to that from the computer's headphone output and the portable audio players' outputs, that were previously enjoyable albeit wanting. I do not feel disappointed by my having spent $200 for a portable device to realize the quality of musical experience that is available to me without having to listen in my dedicated listening room wherein my interconnect cables cost more than this device. I do not believe that this device can replace my component DAC and my component power amplifier. However, neither will fit into my bookbag nor can fit onto my desk, nor can be powered in a car or train or airplane.
