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 AKG K3003s are tight, and really accurate, but maybe too much so. The bass with the reference filter is good, but not great. Putting on the bass filter caused the overall sound to feel muddy.
Now, the LZ-A4s sound more v-shaped. The bass is tight, deep and punchy. With the red back filter, it might reach into basshead levels - red back feels very lush. The treble is crisp and nimble and doesn't have much if any sibilance. The mids are a tad recessed compared to the AKG K3003s though. The decay also feels longer than the AKG.
Now, the soundstage on LZ-A4 sounds much wider than the AKGs. I love it. I'm using the red back and blue front filters to maximize the frequency range and it sounds great, but the ability to switch filters in and out as you please it a great bonus. My only concern is with the tread wearing out with too frequent filter changes, but I guess only time will tell.
Edit: I'm using the Dragonfly red dac/amp powered by either my MacBook pro or iPhone 7 plus.
