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...

This is a fairly detailed analysis, though not completely extensive it should have more info than you would possibly need on the impacts of different wood, the TLDR is this:
All you really need to know when deciding on a wood for your headphones is whether you want a softer wood, which will have more decay and more sense of roundness to notes or if you want a hard wood which will be slightly more precise with harder edges to notes. In pretty much any case where you can decide upon the wood yourself, you should choose based upon aesthetics only.
Edit: these aren't even closed so realistically the wood grain differences will affect the sound even less obviously - ZMF headphones are closed (or semi-closed, 85%, but still).
@SlashEmperor yea I rather the wood here than the standard one for the Vali, the best one they've made to date in my opinion is the Amaranthe Odin!
Glad that it's helpful for people with the 'visual' of the headphones.
And, yeah, the Massdrop Vali should looks more like the standard Odin (on the left most of the bottom photo) than the standard Vali.
I'd kinda sad I missed this drop due to financial situation/
I wasn't sure but figured those were your photos as I don't know anyone else who owns the Amaranthe Odin, they are gorgeous (both the headphones as well as the pictures), apologies for not crediting you for them directly when I posted them.
I also missed the drop due to finances so I feel your pain, I'm very much looking forward to the next one as Kennerton have already confirmed on head-fi as I'm sure you noticed that they'll be bringing it back with a higher unit limit next time. :D
....must scrounge money in advance. good lord do i want a set of these.
