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...

My main headphones are ATM50s, which are a fairly critical set of phones. I also have various Sennheisers, AKGs, and Sure IEMs. I listen a lot to percussion, strings, chamber music, as well as metal, prog, jazz and pop, so my listening range is wide. I've also been a musician for over 40 years, so I've heard it all.
With acoustic music, the sound breathes. You can hear the 'air.' Voices, strings, and percussion are crisp and clear. I listened with my Sennheiser HD545 open back phones and the soundstage was wide and expressive.
Switching back to the ATM50s for some BÖC, Ghost, and TOOL, the sound was still expansive. While not bass heavy, it was balanced. It seems to handle all music equally well. The other nice thing is that even after many hours of listening, I didn't feel any 'digital fatigue ' like I've experienced with other units.
For $100 it's a definite winner. I'll have to get another one.
