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...

First, the price was very fair for a quality earpad. This is a boutique/unique item and their engineering was really precise. Although they're not 'cheap' when you look at actual cost to manufacture, to get any options for our headphones is more than enough reason for me to happily pay more so they can make a bit of profit.
Next, the actual material is plush and comfortable, but I notice from time to time there's a very slight 'itchy' feel from them. I guess after a couple years I grew accustom to the feel of original leatherish pads. These are similar to how my HD600 feel.
The earpad IS slightly smaller, likely just by millimeters, but enough I noticed first time. They will loosen up with time and even if they didn't it wouldn't be an issue or deal breaker.
The main reason I got them was for warmer days to reduce sweating. It's winter right now so not able to fully test, but even when the recording space is warm from the space heater blasting away these seem to allow the cans to breath better.
Unlikely the prior reviewer, I noticed absolutely no difference in sound isolation or playback/fidelity.
Installation was not particularly easy, but once I figured out the first side the second went on in half the time. I'd rather have the install be a challenge so they fit snug than the alternative.
This drop is my first and I give it an enthusiastic thumbs up.
NOTE - I'm using these with my ATH-M50
