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...

General assessment: If you've never tried velour pads before, then I would probably recommend making sure you like the feel of velour first, though I guess that kinda goes without saying. They do have the effect of reducing the seal around the ears, lessening the impact of the bass. Overall clarity, which I value a bit more than punchy bass, seemed unaffected to my ears. This reduced seal also has the effect of greater audio leakage, e.g. people standing next to you are going to be able to tell what you're listening to at even moderate volumes. For someone who keeps their on-ears at home, this wasn't an issue, but for those people who like to acessorize this may be a concern.
That being said, the quality of these earpads matches that of the headphones itself, and they make a snug fit on the m50's. I find these pads make the headphones comfortable for however long you want to listen to music: No more sweaty ears, and they drastically reduced the discomfort of wearing glasses with my headphones. I was extremely satisfied when I recieved these, and was willing to accept the small effect the pads have sonically for what I find to be greatly increased comfort.
