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...

Using this on my MacBook with JRiver Media Center 22 @ 352/384KHz / 24-bit sounds pretty insane. Haven't started auditioning with my IEMs yet, but you guys are in for a surprise. I'll try it with my TFZ Series 5's (from Massdrop) and my Westone UM3X-R's and post back here when I can.
The unit is built like a tank, and is surprisingly hefty for it's size (feels very solid). The packaging is sturdy and high quality too. I got the silver version, and it looks really classy. I'm really impressed, and at this price here, it's an unbelievable buy.
First one I've seen "in the wild" :)
Highly underrated/unknown bit of kit as far as I'm concerned. Can do everything I thrown at it. Awesome DAC, OK AMP.
Same as I'm hoping the Xduoo will be (but in a portable form) once it arrives :)
Oh, and if you are rooted, look into Viper4Android. It replaces the Android audio driver, and offers some cool control options for your audio. I'm running it and Neutron on a Nexus 6 myself, and couldn't be happier... (well, I kind of wish I had more on-board storage, but that's another issue).
I've been listening mostly with jRiver Media Center 22 on my Mac. I do my critical listening in my office / studio so don't need to be totally portable most of the time.
