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...

Sound-wise, I am looking for an upgrade to my Grado 325i's - I love their details and treble, but looking for something a little less harsh and with a little more bass punch and resonance...
Any thoughts or comments would be very much appreciated!
These are harsher in the treble than I remember with the Pandora Hope.Comfort is okay to me, though I never had a problem with the comfort. More clampy headphones tend to bother me more. I too would like to hear a direct comparison with Pandora to confirm my thoughts, but in the listening I've done these may bit a too fatiguing to my taste.
Regarding the sliders, it seems like they have fixed this issue. The Pandora's were too loose, these on the Sonorous seem to stay put.
If you like the 325, another option may the "Magnum" drivers by Symphones. They are smoother than the Grados and have more bass. Their DIY though, replacing the drivers in Grado or custom enclosures.
The sliders are definitely more stable on these however. They slid on the Pandora just by putting the headphones on. Once again, may be product variation but on my pair they are much more stable than the Pandora I owned.
