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...

I have experience with the FiiO X3, (very good at $150), the FiiO X5, (awesome at $350) and the iBasso DX100 (out dated now and did I really pay $900 for it at the time??? Yikes). There are many new players on the market, most from Asia, a few from Europe. The prices have become reasonable on some really good players.
Also in the sub $200 range FiiO X1, just released (I don't have hands on yet), is around $110 but should be a good contender. The X5 is pricey but has capacity for 256G with 2 micro cards and sounds AWE-SOME, especially when mated with the FiiO E12 Mont Blanc amp!
