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...

Lastly, though the A83's stock cable is of notable merit, the options aren't limited here. Caveat being, the A83's own cable is proprietary, owing to the small protrusion on the connector that prevents rotation (pictured below). Hence, in some instances, the A83's stock cable may interfere with the ability to achieve a proper seal when certain third-party eartips are in use. Fortunately, MMCX cables are a dime a dozen, and a simple search for "mmcx cable" via Google, Amazon, or eBay yields several viable alternatives. Again, as with the eartips, ymmv, and the A83's stock configuration may be all you need. To the contrary, if a proper fit and seal proves difficult, the aforementioned suggestions don't hurt. Rest assured, the A83 is among the best hybrids I've heard, to date; no sense in not going the extra mile if need be.
