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...

Regarding cosmetics, there's a faint sight of bubble wrap marks on one ear cup. But nothing alcohol wipes can't fix. But do take care not to over do it. Some dried glue here and there on the metal rings that hold the ear cups. Alcohol wipes again to the rescue. I think I'm luckier than some people on here I guess.
Regarding sound quality, only had about 30 mins of listening before having to turn in for the night as I still have work tomorrow. My go to audition song is "River of Crystals" by Kimiko Itoh on Youtube (
). The 1080HD version is definitely crystal clear so I would suggest everyone give it a try. Bass is very present; you can feel it, lively, but not boomy or tiring. Vocal clarity is on point imo; wish it was a bit more in the front (but I know this going in with the slightly recessed midrange). Sound stage is bit closer than what I prefer.
That's it for now. Will continue burning it in. Hope everyone gets theirs and gets to try them out! So far I'm happy, can't complain.
