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...

Your AVReciever probably isn't designed very well to power headphones, as it isn't their main design focus.
impedance isn't linear with frequency, so high impedance outputs (above 1/8th of the headphones) will colour the sound, though AKG's K7 line hasn't got a huge variation up till about 10k, not uncommon to find 10ohm outputs on phones.
A direct comparison between the KXX and the DT 880 30ohm's:

They're gonna be about -6dB quieter, and possibly a lot more if your amp can't power 60ohms with the same amount of juice as 32ohms

For reference, I mainly use Fostex TH-900 and XBA-Z5 and I like those two so if you like any of those two, you'll probably like headphones / iem's i like.
