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 ordered the HD6xx but can't wait until December (just super excited) so .. I am looking for some help to decide on the below scenario.
Do I; 1. buy the K7xx for $225 (inc Delivery) along with maybe a relatively cheap portable amp (£60) to use until Dec and the HD6xx and then purchase a tube amp (£100-150) or schiit stack £300. 2. buy the Sennheiser HD700 for £250, currently on offer as these are open box / ex display with limited use and get the Schiit stack. 3. Or just be a good boy and wait until the HD6xx arrive and invest in better amps. Again tube or schiit stack of some sort.
In summary what I am asking here is, are the HD700 at that price a steal over the K7xx? Is the sound signature similar between the HD6xx and the hd700 that for variety I'd be better off going for the K7xx? To have a different sound experience.
In terms of music genre I mainly listen to hip hop but vairous other music like pop, house and blues and love deep punchy bass.
Honestly you should probably buy the Nad Viso HP50 for $141, it's on clearance sale right now. Or the ATH-M50X.
I was on the fence for the HD700 as the reviews and feedback seem split but will probably avoid them then.
