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 currently own a the hifiman he560 which I love and I also just received and am really enjoying the drop for the Westone 30 IEMs.. Do you think the TH-X00 would be a nice addition to pair with them? I'm thinking yes because the he560 are more laid back, wider soundstage (airy), neutral and detailed with accurate but not thumping bass, which I will use during critical listening sessions with classical, jazz and blues. I'm hoping these would be more forward and fun for rock and hip-hop... am i correct in my assessment?
I know some might say don't keep spending round $500 on headphones when I could purchase a single $1000+ headphone. I'm not worried about owning a second pair of "mid-fi" headphones and not leaping for a true flagship headphone. I'm happy playing is mid-fi land for a while and having multiple options for listening depending on the content to be played.
I was a little disappointed that i missed the ebony drop because everyone is clamoring about them, but those seem to be a little smoother in sound representation so actually maybe the mahogany will be a greater departure from the he560s for me. Hmmm.
Any wisdom is appreciated!
