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...

Also got the short cable. Definitely too short for me, it doesn't reach from my desktop to sofa which are right next to each other. Were they all short or did some get the 6' length? Clamping force is a bit tighter compared to my HD598 but still comfortable enough to be wearing over the past couple of hours. Definitely feels more "sturdy" than the 598s do. I like the dark color scheme as well. Nice, subtle matte finish.
Listening through a 17" macbook pro and a HeadRoom Micro Amp. Couple of hours of listening so far, sounds really good...some amazing imaging. I'll let it play through an ipod for a couple of days and see it the sound changes any with burn-in.
Other than the short cable, it's been just a few hours but happy with them so far.
Short cable here too but using a balanced cable from Surf Cables so not a deal breaker. Disappointing nonetheless.
Currently listening with my Bifrost 4490/Valhalla v1 stack, but will be switching over to my DAC19/Liquid Carbon stack to see which setup I prefer. Thus far, I'm enjoying these quite a bit.
Someone should do a Hawaii can jam type thing...
This was the first drop that went through FedEx/UPS, I thought it would be faster but it's ending up taking longer. I wish there was an option to pay for upgraded shipping, USPS first class would be here in less than a week.
