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...

Bass is really tight and punchy, mids are a little warm, and the treble is only what I can describe as "smooth" -- not painful to listen to. I'm not very good at describing them, but I have to agree with the rest of the comments saying these are really good headphones. Was doubting if I should've spent money on these, but I'm really satisfied. Only thing I'm a little afraid of is how fragile the hinges are, although they feel quite premium. The gloss on one cup also has a few dimples, but that doesn't bother me too much.
I'll also offer my other thoughts on these: The market for semi-closed back wooden cup headphones is quite limited; only headphones coming to mind that are like these are the discontinued Denon D5000/7000s, the Fostex TH-600/900, and the Audio-technica ATH-W5000. So I'm glad that Massdrop took a step forward to make these possible, and at a great price at that -- most of the headphones listed above don't go for cheap, not below $500 new. This headphone, at this price, might just become one of the new standards for this price range and especially in the wooden cup headphone market, given that you're patient enough to wait for the next drop.
These are amazing, so for anyone thinking about getting in on the next drop -- even if you don't have the chance to listen to them and you're afraid to join, seriously consider it! Thank you Massdrop!
