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...

First of all, the shape is great. Pretty close to perfect. Very, very thin for an over-ear and very light. They don't quite "disappear" (nothing does) but they aren't that far off. Can definitely use these in bed and lay down on your ear.
As a guy with small ears, I really appreciate the moldable ear guides.
The sound is pretty spectacular, especially for the price. Saying that these can compete with $200 IEMs might, if anything, be an understatement. These things hit way, way above their price point, and if it's any indication I don't experience too much of a shock jumping from balanced HD-800s with $2500 worth of gear to these driven through a One Plus One. They're fairly energetic, but also somewhat (somewhat being the operative word) neutral. Fairly analytical but free of sibilance. Mids are slightly recessed and bass is moderately boosted and could be a bit tighter, but that's to be expected. Well above average, but not great soundstage and seperation.
One interesting attribute I've found is that isolation is very poor. For some people this may be a good thing, but for most it will not be. They're also a bit fatiguing. But for $20, these are pretty easy compromises to make.
