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...

Edit: I've been listening to them more and more and they are sounding better. My Phillips X2's came today and I immediately like them better though. The bass is amazing on the X2's and their easier to drive. I'm going to look at getting the JDS labs dac/amp to drive the AKG's. I think that will help with the lower frequencies.
Is this why JBL will burn-in their LSR305's 100 hours at MAX volume before shipping which they then dial in a frequency driver compensation curve for true linearity? Speakers and Headphone drivers are very similar. Some have suspension that requires flexing which wears in and the designer/engineer chooses materials accordingly. Physics 101. Burn in time may vary from driver to driver. 100 hours is a safe go to standard. On the other hand, Burn in on a silicone chip is more subjective especially if digital only and quite possibly Myth.
Madhouse is spreading Myth which burns me.
