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...

I also notice no real difference in the sound between the two sets of pads unlike many others here (or at least not a difference to worry about!) Perhaps I am just cloth-eared or maybe I need to spend some time exhaustively A/B-ing to hear the flaws, but life is too short and I love the sound of these cans.
For the most part I run them hooked up to my Macbook Pro via a Centrance DACPort (they work great straight from the laptop jack though) with Audivarna Plus as my player/source and they consistently deliver hour after hour of sweet, detailed listening pleasure.
Interestingly I did buy a DacPort Slim in the recent drop, but I find the Sonorous are so sensitive (or the Slim deficient in quality!) that I can hear a faint but unmistakable hiss/noise floor which I don't get from my original DacPort, so you may find them too sensitive for some sources.
I was also impressed with how well they performed plugged straight into my iPhone 6s Plus playing 256k AAC files - most unexpectedly good!
Love em.
