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...

- Where do you store your headphones? - How do you keep your headphones when traveling? A case, just its pouch, throw in backpack? - Have they ever fell on the ground? - Did you feel them wobbling before they broke? - Do you press the headphones against your head for better sealing?
Please keep in mind I am not saying the people that this issue happened to are doing something wrong. Rather, I am just looking for any patterns of what might case something like this to happen.
Though my suspicion is maybe people might be carrying it around or throw it in a backpack? Personally I'd imagine this headphone is best used indoor in a desktop / studio environment (the long cord is an obvious hint). If you carrying a full size headphone around regardless of price (say, HD650 or HE-400S) it most likely will sustain some damage.
Again, not pointing fingers here but I've also never had any headphone breaking on me. Maybeeeee only my first pair of cheapo $60 Sony headphone during college that I throw it in my backpack, that one the plastic band eventually broke. But anything else onward has never been broken.
