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...

Fit: I have to agree with another user. Not good for people with small ears. It comes with a package of 3 sizes, and 2 types: Silicon and the foam. The Silicon ones are hard on SMALL EARS, and are painful. The foam ones compensate well, but are not as sound proof. That is the trade off. @$150: I expected better.
Connection: Good, phone calls are clear, people cant tell youre on wireless. You can hear people well. It does have issues connecting to Mac computers. I dont know why, but it can connect with determination. The buttons on the cables work well, however, they work best on IOS and have reported issues with Android.
@$150: Disappointed by the lack of instant connection and OS issues.
and finally most importantly:
Sound: It is incredibly important to understand that these are NOT fitness headphones. They are are supposed to be all purpose headphones. These jaybirds were designed to be BALANCED. I say they focus on the highs very well, and a review noted that they were best for instrumental and vocal (so very good for watching tv). So this brings me to where the Jaybirds lack the most, and the biggest upset. NO BASS. NO BASS. NO BASS AT ALL. If you listen to music with an emphasis on bass (EDM, DUBSTEP, HIPHOP/R&B) these will disappoint you. There is an app you can get for free (tuneshell) that compromises since it has an eq, but without it, @$150, worth returning, and an absolute sin to be charging this price.
@$114. A great buy if you set your expectations realistically. These are not the end all be all they market themselves to be.
Perhaps I got a bad one?
