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...

the semi open back headphones will work well with gaming, giving you a wider sound stage and better comprehension on the mid-rang noises (foot steps and voices fall in that rang usually). They use the same drivers and similar hardware to the AKG K240, and as a result have a relatively flat EQ, so when using on PC i would suggest using a EQ for finer tuning to your ears.
Word of warning thought, the cable is not a typical AUX cord, and if you are hard on cables, it can be a pain in the butt replacing the mini-XLR to 1/8inch (headphone jack). those cables are usually running between 30-50 dollars depending where you look. I wasn't able to find replacement cables on AKG's website, but im sure their customer support can send some out for a price, maybe free if its within warranty.
