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...

Deutsche Grammophon famously used Sennheiser HD-600s for mixing orchestral music for years, and I personally think they sound gorgeous and work well for recording despite being a tad relaxed, so they might be another option for you -- esp. when they go on sale before and during Black Friday.
Of course, none of those headphones look as beautiful as the TH-00s, but it appears that sound is the most important thing to you. That said, the MDR-V6 / MDR-7506 has been the most ubiquitous headphone in the studio world for nearly thirty years. I used to see AKG 501s and, occasionally in small studios, Grados, but never as often as the Sony model you own already.
Occasionally, I visit the Brooklyn studio of a producer I partnered with for decades and along with his Telefunken mic pres from Abbey Road (yes, the ones that were used on the most lavishly produced Beatle albums), classic Neve and ProTools setup, he uses your headphones in the control room. They're that reliable.
