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...

However, prices may vary per country, for those who do get a better deal here on Massdrop a short description of the Zensor 1:
Small, nice looking, well built speaker. They look great when you remove the grille, especially the white version, with the little red woofer as a nice contrast.
Good speaker terminals, will take 4mm2 wire (although 2.5mm2 will be enough in most cases). You could use banana plugs if you want to, but some plugs may occasionally rattle at high volumes (when connected to the terminals), so I prefer just using the stripped wire. Minor issue, no big deal.
Very good sound quality. Amazingly well resolving tweeters for the price. Can be a bit bright at times on my old Cambridge Audio amp, but I like that, so it doesn't bother me too much. I heard them on an older Yamaha amp as well, and then the balance is a bit more even.
The mids are spot-on. Great vocal clarity, good resolution. With some material (piano, some vocals, sounds with a "hard" tone) there can be a slight hollow / reflective edge to the sound. That is perfectly normal in this price range, it might be due to the fact that the woofer baskets are stamped rather than cast (the latter being more expensive) and / or possibly Dali uses a bit more basic internal bracing / damping in their budget models.
The bass is amazing for the size of the cabinets. Tight, punchy, and reasonably well controlled. For bigger rooms, the Zensor 1's might fall a little short, but they can go reasonably deep when placed near a wall, only lacking subbass. If you want to move massive amounts of air, however, you need bigger speakers (you cannot change the laws of physics).
The Zensor 1's work with all kinds of music, but if you like a big orchestral sound or metal on high volumes, the Zensor 3 (or rather Zensor 5 or 7) is the better option.
They are quite efficient, my guess would be that they actually do a little better than the 86,5dB 1W/ 2,83V @6 Ohms nominal impedance that's on their website, they easily go very loud with my rather old 2x 60W RMS (@8 Ohms load) amp.
All in all, great little speakers, especially considering their modest price.
