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 Orion sounds slightly warmer and has a bigger sound stage while maintaining a flat signature. Treble and bass have good clarity with extension that is adequate but limited by the single BA configuration, similar to the ER4.
MD plus offers a sound stage smaller than the Orion but bigger than the ER4 while also increasing extension; particularly in the bass region. The vented 2BA for lows gives it a nice, airy punch more typically found in dynamic or hybrid IEMs. This however, creates more recessed mids compared to the ER4 or Orion.
Ultimately, it depends on your own listening preferences. If you ever felt like the Orion could do with a touch more bass and sparkle, I think the MD plus is a great choice.
Also a side note, while the Orion's are reasonably comfortable, The MD Plus are simply one of the most comfortable UIEMs I've ever used and their design makes them compatible with a wider range of ear sizes. I've actually started using these over closed-back headphones and CIEMs for long plane rides.
