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...

Just received the K553. These are stupid good for the money. Listening to them right now through my Oppo HA-2 fed by Onkyo HD app via a Furutech GT8-A lightning usb cable. Some of the most balanced, articulate and musical cans I've ever owned. These remind me of the Beyerdynamic T1s -- very even across the entire spectrum not emphasizing anything. No peaky treble or booming bass. Human voices (listening to Beck Sea Change DSD right now) are superb. The K553s handle difficult passages with ease, letting layers of information and subtleties come through. Small details presented. Very coherent top to bottom. The only problem is I am laughing out loud that I only paid $119 for these and that is interfering with my ability to hear the music.
Only gripe is cans that sound this good should have a detachable cord even though they cost less than a few DSD downloads. In fact if someone handed me these phones and asked me to guess how much they cost I would have said $500-800 from how they sound. I stand corrected...am listening to Blue Coast DSD recordings....through the oppa h2a these sound like $1000 headphones. Incredible soundstaging and air for closed back cans.
