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...

So relating this to the closed 553, you have more bass because it's closed and if you use it for gaming since the soundstage is restrictive you lose situational awareness like in cod or bf.
I ended up going for these because it's supposed to compliment open headphones and I like the akg sound signature. I heard they are a little neutral because the sennheisers are more colored and warm which I prefer, but for this price they're a steal. I'm planning on using these as my main beat around gaming headphones with an AntLion mic. I'm excited to see what this semi open soundstage is like too. It's a bummer that the range isn't as high as other headphones, but as long as it sounds good who cares.
Tyll Hertsen thought that the X2 was a definitive and positive step up from the X1. I'd also buy a X2, if it goes on drop.
edit: this one is specifically for late night movie watching and gaming. Needed a closed headphone, this at $140 was a bit of a stretch with no removable cable, but for $20 less, i'd take that wager. Although, the aforementioned toddler loves destroying cable. ;(
