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 YU5 and YUMI have near-identical features but sound different. A Kanto representative posting on MassDrop said that the YUMI's and YU5's have a "different tweeter, driver, and amp type" all which "contribute to" their "difference in sound signature". He also said that the YU5's are "brighter which means the high end is more pronounced".
The "YUMI is a bit warmer sounding, more pronounced midrange and smoother high end. The YUMI's are a bit more realistic sounding when listening to live instruments due to its more accurate tweeters. YU5's work well as desktop / nearfield speakers since they have a more relaxed midrange whereas I think the YUMI's excel in a two-channel audio / home theatre situation. Other than that they have similar features with the YU5 getting louder due to it's higher power class-D amp."
I haven't heard either model, but I doubt if the YUMI is "more realistic sounding" just because it's not as treble heavy as the YU5. Keep in mind that many factors affect how speakers sound (speaker positioning, room size, carpeted floors, etc.) and sound preference is subjective.
If you plan to listen in a smaller room, I think the best value here is the YU3. It has the same features as the YU5 but is somewhat smaller and lighter... and $70 less. With a subwoofer added, you should be able to get much better sound than the YU5 alone.
