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...

Yes, HD700 needs tune up, that's a shame that Sennheiser couldn't fix it with 700S. But 700 phones uses far more advanced drivers that are capable of.
Biggest issue w 700 treble for many people is internal earpad pleather, that reflects HF.(BTW regular 800 does not have that issue). dampening of that pleather and simple Anax mod transform that headphones to extremely satisfying device(for lazy folks there are ready to install HD700 Mod Kit on modhouseaudio) . They're much more clear and musical than 650s. Even not A/Bing average people feel day and night difference. And its 40mm driver can produce very solid bass, not like Fostex X00, but damn it can be very close with proper EQ. Its comfort+sounstage are priceless. 800 are clearer with greater soundstage, but they're heavier, not that comfy and too analytical, not for music listening, IMO. And damn, 700s can be picked now used for around 300usd and new for 470. But to me they worth 2 times more. I'd buy em any time for 1000, just because nothing else on a market can offer similar comfort + listening experience. And yea this is perfect gaming headset w modmic as well. For comparison I owe 558, 650, 700 and regular 800, Fostex X00, TH900, EMU Teak, Sony Z700 and Z1R(sold few days ago), Monoprice 1060.
