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...

If you are satisfied with your current set-up then you don't an amp. Getting one may or may not add a better experience, it is subjective.

If you're using a PC and have never purchased a headphone amp before, then I'd look into an all-in-one DAC-amp. Try to hear a few of them at an audio store, a friend's house or a Head-fi meet before you make a purchase.
I have He-400i and Dragonfly Red and I really like the improved richness, clarity and immersion that dac/amp brings to the music.
But a wise man once said, you'll never miss anything you've never had. So if you enjoy the sound out of your PC sound card, then just stick with that. Unless you're actually seriously considering an upgrade, just be warned - there's no known cure for upgraditis.
