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...

I own the black Custom One Pro Plus and it works well with you on the street or parked at home on your desk. The cord length is just great if I have my phone in my side pocket - it's long enough that it doesn't tug if I turn my head and short enough that it doesn't tangle on other things.
The changeable covers aren't really worth it unless you plan on changing it quite often. The default covers it comes with are metal while the rest of the packaged ones are cardboard. I only changed them once and that was the day I got it.
One consideration is the microphone. The Custom One Pros have a separate attachment for a microphone (think headset) while the Plus has a build in mic in the cord. It has one button that lets you play/pause songs on your phone (my phone's an Android, no idea if it works with other phones). It also lets you answer calls. So far the microphone's okay. I don't have to put it in my mouth like other brands just so my voice is audible.
Audio is great both attached to my phone or my computer. I've not tried it yet with a DAC/amp (I've only tried that with my K7XX's). Should be good too, I bet, but both the K7XX and the K553 Pros have freaking long cords that will most likely trip me if I went out with them.
I also have a huge head and wear glasses and I've noticed a lot of headphones I've tried end up giving me severe pain after an hour or two of usage. The end up either pinching my ear or stabbing my glasses into my head. I've not encountered top-of-the-head pain like other users.
Another issue is if you sweat, your ears get wet with these cans. I take them out sometimes and while I don't use them for exercise, unfortunately, where I live is hot and any short walk will leave you sweaty. It's not a big deal for me so I usually just take them off my ears and slide them down to my neck to cool off. At the end of the day tho I wipe the ear pads so they don't end up stinking that stupid sweat smell.
I didn't include any technical stuff 'cause that's easily searcheable on the interwebs. I personally don't think the COP Plus is worth it compared to the COP. I'd rather have gotten the COP but I did get the Plus so there's my personal experience having them.
You should get valour pads to fix the sweatting issue.
These I'm not sure if it's exactly cardboard per se but it's a thick paper-like material, lol.
Thinking about the velour pads... I think the bigger problem is the stupid climate where I live, sigh.
