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...

The Grace DAC is an example of a pro audio-designed DAC/amp that found an audiophile market because it performs a function that *works* for audiophiles. Studio monitors also can work in the audiophile section. Sadly, there is no such place for a music keyboard, guitar, electronic drum set, effects pedal or microphone. That kind of equipment is in a separate category and should remain so, with studio monitors and amp/DACs appearing under *both* categories.
Again, if you want to bypass people's preconceptions of a so-called elitist distinction by using words like Musical Instruments or Music Production, please do. Pro Audio shouldn't be an issue, since it's the correct industry term, but if it is, then the change is fine as long as things like keyboards and guitars have their own place.
If you absolutely must group everything audio related under a single category, then the first poster's Audio suggestion makes a lot more sense than Audiophile.
Now, show of hands again... who here has seen a music store that sells the following? - studio monitor speakers - studio monitor headphones - reference-class open back headphones - audio interfaces (that automatically double as 24-bit/192kHz DAC/amp units)
...I rest my case.
