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...

Otherwise so far I'm impressed by the sound. They have pretty much ruined all my other headphones, they sound terrible in comparison. I'm a little worried about the elastic support, seems like it will be the first thing to go on them, hopefully it won't be an issue. If I can just get the rattle sorted out I think I'll be pretty happy.

The elastic will gradually go. Like the ear cushions, though, replacing them isn't difficult. You can get exact replacements from AKG, if you want, but the synthetic stretch bands you'll find in the grocery store, near the combs and brushes, will work perfectly fine.
