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've been listening to it for the past week now and I must say that these headphones are really warming up to me. At first I thought it was okay but not worth the $650CAD (after custom and conversion) but after some burn in time I think they are pretty good. I don't have any other headphones in this price range to compare to ... but here is my quick review. The treble is smooth and enough detail to enjoy the music without being tired. The bass hits hard and clean (on some poorly recordings the bass could be bloated). Mids at first was too recessed for me, but now I feel like it's just right .. enough to enjoy it but not too forward that it takes away from the soundstage. Imaging is spot on. Lastly, the comfort and looks are just added bonuses.
Only a few things to make these headphones perfect for me 1. Fully closed headphones (not sure how without sacrificing the sound quality) 2. Detachable cables
I'm running this with my Fiio X5 on high gains with flac files and seems to have no troubles powering it.
Kudos to Massdrop and team for a successful drop. Awesome customer service and headphones. Satisfied customer.
Without really any technical terms.. this is the best way I can describe it.
Low gains is more mellow.. does everything well but not much excitement. High gains makes the music more alive, bass hits harder, mids and highs shines a bit more..
update; so I wore these headphones for 2.5 hours straight ... it does get a bit hot and my ears were relieved when I took them off for a 5 mins break.
@zepthompson: I didn't even bother using the adaptor that came with it, been using the sennheiser adaptor and no issues at all.
