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 HD598 (and probably the HD595 as well) is quite sensitive to output impedance of your amp. If it is the typical 100 Ohms of a consumer grade CD player or receiver, they will sound horribly bloated in the midbass and will seem to lack subbass a lot more. If you connect them to an amp with low output impedance (typically <1 Ohm), they will sound a lot more punchy.
The 250 Ohm version of the DT770's is a lot less critical, they sound good on almost anything as long as it delivers enough juice.
