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 only reference I have to compare them to are apple earbuds, and grado RS2's. Currently my grado's severely outperform these, and some songs the apple craps sound better on because there is a bass presence, instead of a lack of one. (though not by much as the highs do really shine) I've been using Tidal to stream lossless EDM for the notes for my phone comparison.
I stuck them into my grado amp connected to my PC for a better connection and better sources, and the muted bass was still completly present.
Edit 6/11
I have now purchased a Audio Quest DragonFly Red, and everything has changed. These are prestigious, but I've found they are extremely source dependent. My Numark djIo PC DAC does not output a good enough source for these to shine with, nor does the phones innate sound card.
When you do wear these correctly, it's a WORLD of difference. These sound really really really good and the bass is just good for me.
