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 number one benefit of these headphones vs. in-ears is that they exhibit ZERO microphonics (i.e. those obnoxious THUMP sounds with every step you take or any time there's a light tug on the cord). You can stomp, jump, windmill, thrust, millie-rock, or dab as hard as you want without missing a beat. The only earbuds I've found in this price range that can deliver moderate sound quality with low microphonics are Apple's Earpods, but mileage with those can vary greatly depending on the exact shape of your ear.
I WILL SAY THOUGH I worry a lot about sweat ingress. I sweat like a hot horse in heat... especially when doing indoor cardio. Think about all that biological salt water seeping into the microphone, jack, drivers and spongy earpads and the whole concept gets gross and rusty pretty fast. I'd only use these for outdoor running on cooler days or for the non-cardio days.
