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 still don't think i'm getting the most out of these headphones.... Is it possible that the magni 2 that i have doesn't output enough, even at high gain, to drive these headphones to their limit? How does the ohms rating and wattage relate to voltage required to drive these headphones? Is it possible that the magni line just can't drive these phones to properly take advantage of their quality?
Magni 2 - 260mW RMS at 300 ohms. Gain is 3db or 14db.
Schiit now makes the Magni 3, which has 430 mW RMS at 300 ohms. Gain is 6db or 17db
Side note: Not really a fan of how the gain changes how pronounced certain elements are. I keep increasing the volume to try and bring up the background but its volume doesn't increase nearly as much as the main voice or main element in the song. It seems on low gain, everything is raised in unison when i crank the volume.
