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...

Out of the box, they sound very average. The base is just a bit average to adequate, sound stage is a bit weak and not immensely detailed, the highs are ok. It does sound a bit canny. I broke them a bit (some 10h overnight) and they might have gotten a bit better. I had to put some Comply foam tips to add a bit of base and isolation which brought a bit more detail.
The cables are tangle free, flat cables that are well made and flexible enough without being weak. The connection to the extension cable is the strangest thing I have seen in the earphone category. Whoever engineered that part or thought about adding a connection there should be fired.
I have a $20 SoundMAGIC E10 that sound slightly better. This is unacceptable from a supposedly better brand like beyerdynamics and at a $70 MSRP prise tag.
I am not hugely disappointed, but i would not have bought it.
