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...

Cup difference is a little bit easier to test. Effectively Teak is different than rest of the cups, it was milled thinner (apparently any other wood would crack if milled that thin) thus result in more interior volume, which also result in bigger sound stage but further sounding vocal. E-Mu Rosewood is actually closer to Mahogany design wise, they have same interior volume and same narrow sound stage but also both has closer vocal. But I think Mahogany has more treble and closer vocal while Rosewood has more and deeper bass.
I vaguely remember swapping back and forth but I think in the end I like their default pairing the best, as in E-Mu headphone with Teak cup and TH-X00 headphone with Mahogany cup. So maybe the sound engineers did their homework hahaha. Again this is from a while back so I could be wrong. Hope this helps.
"rest of the cups" as in E-Mu Ebony, E-Mu Rosewood, TH-X00 Mahogany, and TH-X00 Ebony cups. Then there's TH-X00 Purpleheart from what I gathered is different in its own way (never owned it so I don't know).
But after threads and threads and pages and pages of things I read, I think the top 2 are probably E-Mu Teak and TH-X00 Ebony. (keep in mind E-MU Ebony is different species than TH-X00 Ebony) So your wallet is still in danger. :P
I think I tunnel vision myself with Denon AH-D2000 then E-Mu Teak and Fostex TH-X00. Amps/Dacs I've tried are E10K (sold), Fulla 1 (returned), UDAC3, and recently SMSL M3 (returned).
Looking back maybe I should've just spend money on more different things. Lol oh well I guess I live and learn.
