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.

As it turns out the positive connector on the right earcup came loose. Easy fix, I opened it up, replaced the cable, closed and all is working again!

All fixed as new 😁
A nice 4 pin mini-xlr and an accompanying re-terminated stock cable!
Just waiting on some Dekoni elite hybrid sheepskin pads to come from the latest drop to breathe some new life into these babies!
I wonder if AKG will sell me a few replacement parts however.... Those clear plastic support rails on both left and right sides have snapped... and there may or may not be a hole in the left cup caused by a soldering iron...
