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...

What can I say, I'm so stunned. The moment I unpacked them I knew I was holding something special and premium in my hands. Wood cups are absolutely gorgeous and the build quality is excellent. Mine came with no scratches or bubble marks on them since Massdrop / Fostex took care of it properly this time , which I want to thank them for. There is that slight notch on my headband but it'll even itself out in a few days.
The sound is amazing and is everything I hoped it would be, amazing fast bass that extends very low. Treble is spot on in my opinion, gets JUST right, high enough to make the sound crystal clear but stops just before it becomes annoying or sibilant. Mids are sliiiightly recessed but still nothing to worry about, they are amazing for this price range. Strong center image and overall very intimate and "in your head" sound, which is very detailed and immersive. Loving it. They are easy to listen to in my opinion. Great for almost any genre of music, hip hop was especially fun on these.
After 1 hour of trying them out, I had to swap the pads for my Brainwavz HM5 Sheepskin pads and the comfort increased by 200%. The stock pads are a bit too stiff for my liking, also the hole on them could be bigger. Sound didn't change almost at all, perhaps slightly deeper bass and less sharp treble which is a positive thing to my ears. Powering them with a Schiit stack of Modi and Magni Uber.
Overall, I'm amazed and very happy with my purchase. DHL is very slow but oh well, at least they delivered them safely. Obligatory pictures below:
