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...

Here's a couple pics of mine:
Like a few others have mentioned, my left cord is also twisted. There's no way to untwist it without dismantling the left cup. I'll just leave it for now.
Man, the bass on these. :D I'm usually an open-back headphone guy but I do have a pair of AKG K550 that I use at work for the isolation. Initial impression, these smoke the K550 in terms of bass.
These really are easy to drive headphones. They don't scale up as dramatically as say, the AKG K702 65th Annies that I have. Those scale up linearly from the D1> O2> Asgard 2 noticeably. These Fostex do get a bit better with more power, but not dramatically. If I had to pick something, it would be that the bass is tighter, not as loose as on the weaker amps. At least that's what I hear. YMMV since everyone's hearing is a bit different.
Have your considered the MM2U stack? Spec wise it's not very far off from the new A-B stack at less than half the price (1/3 if you were considering the Multibit Bifrost). If it was available when I bought my old A-B stack, I probably would have bought the MM2U stack instead and spent the extra money on the Vali and some headphones. Granted, I haven't listened to the MM2U stack so I can't comment on how different it sounds from the A-B stack.
