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...

I don't have the original wired versions but based on my limited listening sessions so far, they sound similar to Sennheiser's PX100-IIi with above average bass and a polite upper treble; veiled might be a little strong to use here (though I do think the term might be appropriate for the PX100's) but if you're used to Beyer's peaky treble then I'd imagine that these would sound slightly veiled . They do make listening to brass instruments totally bearable. The mid's are just a tick above neutral but nothing that's goose-bumping inducing on great vocal tracks. As these are "open back" (reason for quotes is the "open" part is achieved through 14 pairs of pin-holes spaced evenly in a radiant pattern but not fully encompassing the entire back of the drivers, the bottom 30 degrees or so is solid to accommodate the wires) they sound reasonably spacious (better than the PX100-IIi) but won't be mistaken for something like SHP9500's spaciousness. I do plan on doing a vid review so will post that when I get around to it.
