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 A1000Z is a bright leaning headphone, although I would not say that they are excessively bright (I felt the MSR-7 were brighter, although I sold those long ago so take this with a spoon full of salt). The treble extends decently well but never sibilant or piercing, just enough to bring out the clarity and details. Female vocals and strings are amazing on these, as expected from an Audio Technica pair, and they have quite a good bit of airiness to the sound. The imaging and speed is also very good, and the soundstage is great for a closed back, not too wide but has a nice depth. The most surprising part to me however, was how good the bass is on these. Don't get me wrong, they aren't bass heavy or anything (I'd say it's on the leaner/lighter side) and do have some roll off in the sub bass area, but what is there is clean and tight, with a good punch when the track calls for it.
As for cons these may not have been a dealbreaker for me but they might be for you:
They are somewhat lacking in bass so if you like Rock music they may not give you the "oomph" that IMO Rock music needs. The 3D wing system is a love or hate thing. It's very comfortable on my head but for others it can be uncomfortable and leat to hot spots. There's also the issue of the cables not being detachable. I took a gamble on these when I bought them and personally feel their sound easily justifies the price and makes the issues forgivable.
