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.

pad product quality itself is good enough and comfort. but these... these just change the sound characteristic compare to original pad. (and I knew these would be happen from someone's the reddit/head-fi review)
it lose bass/lower bass a bit which you could notice directly not only from the measurements difference. these may need to be less thick. maybe half thickness itself. original pad only 1/3~1/4 thickness against these. (except plastic rim, pad sponge only)
here is my measurements from hd800s with miniDSP ears. graphs are alinged at 1khz and no smooth aplied. red : stock L/R average. green : fenestrated sheepskin L/R average. blue : elite velour L/R average. (I put the original inner liner stay in)
I do not recommend these pads to anyone who want to keep original sound characteristic. these look good when just display at headphone hanger and feel comfort when you wearing it on. but sound just different.
