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...

Only got these for around two weeks now, so this shouldn´t be viewed as a review, but these cans have a really great sound (once broken in a bit, which might at least some hours) and a good bass response compared to some Beyerdynamic Headphones (but not the bass head type and not bleeding in other frequencies, just about the right amount for my taste). They are fast an exact, I absolutely enjoy listening to them with about all types of music. Both headphones are not dark sounding, yet not too bright - they don´t pierce your ears with damn high frequencies. Some Beyerdynamics are a bit harsh in that aspect - these are not...but, in the end it comes down to the complete hifi-chain.
I use my headphones to listen to LPs - although these headphones show a lot of small details, you can still enjoy listening to bad recordings (I have lots of cheaply produced Punk LPs...) on the other side they absolutely shine with good recordings like classical music, jazz, blues, electronic stuff and whatever. You can´t really go wrong with these until you´re a basshead.
Both weight close to nothing and the clamping-force is really low which is an absolut joy if you want to listen for hours. The 450s clamping force is close to zero (at least on my ones) - the earpads used on this ones are narrower than the ones on the open 400 - but, keep in mind that these are changeable and there are lots of others to test out for adjusting the sound and comfort to your own tastes - I´ll definitely try other combinations in the future. There are options on the webpage of the manufacturer and as far as I know others like the ones from Beyerdynamic also fit.
