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.

Bear in mind that in headphones and audio in general, high quality equipment does not necessarily mean audio tuned to your liking: everything has their own sound signature and are sometimes boosted in certain frequencies (low, mids, highs, etc.) to put more emphasis on sounds. It is also important to know that if you're not using high quality music files (320 kbps upwards) together with a decent DAC/AMP combination, you will not be able to push the headphones to their fullest potential. The more expensive headphones are designed with this in mind and are better at retrieving more detail from the equipment you have.
As such, if you are buying these headphones to plug directly onto your onboard sound card, or straight into your basic mp3 player/phone, then you are potentially going to be set for disappointment.
