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.

Can I ask which specific one you bought? Reading through this thread it seems like there are quite a few that didn't work. The voltage of the objective model for the UK seems to be 220, but UK voltage is actually 240 isn't it? I am a bit confused as to if a travel adapter is all that is needed?
This one for example:

One comment is:
"Does not account for voltage, don't expect a transformer built in... Always read the American devices power requirement, too much power can burn them out..."
The 220VAC power supply option will work on 240VAC power outlets (the actual ratings on the 220V option power supply is 240VAC 60Hz)
And for the plug adapter you‘ll need one like this:
So, Buy the EU power adaptor from mass drop (220V), then get this:

or similiar. Get the cheapest.
