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...

The Alessandro Are made by grado and Alessandro. Just trying to figure out the differences
Alessandro MS-1's have a slightly different sound profile, generally more suited for rock music, where as the Grado's are a lot more neutral.
Neither are really better just personal preference of the sound profile.
They are treble and mid forward more so than the broad range of headphones out there that would be considered neutral. (I have the AKG K7XX, Beyerdynamic DT990, and Mr. Speakers Alpha Prime)
I'm not sure how they tuned the Alessandro's to be better for rock.
I suppose the question comes down to if you listen to rock or classical? And would you prefer the Alessandro's for rock over classical? I see the Grado's as good for both because of the treble and mid forward stance.
For most modern music, the average listener would probably prefer Grado to Alessandro - even i.e. SR-60 to MS-1. For stuff like vocal music, classical, I'd take Alessandros.
As for Grado themselves, while I admire the Brooklyn-based manufacturing commitment, their distributor arrangement is crap, and this not-honouring-warranty policy is even worse. Despicable. So hard to find them around the world, and the MSRP gets inflated because distributors suck. So kudos to Massdrop for offering them.
