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...

With the positive community response around the Elex, we’ve been able to work with Focal to add more units to the end of the initial production. We will likely be able to open up a couple of limited quantity drops over the next few months.
The first of these runs will launch tomorrow (Mar. 6), with 125 units. The estimated ship date for this production run is May 7.
Is there any 3.5mm plug cables available for the Elex so I can connect to portable DAP (current drop comes with XLR & 6.35mm plug cables).
Thanks John
Appreciate the quick reply.
Cheap priced cable, but is it cheap SQ. Assume most would feel if going into a DAP then not needing an expensive cable.
Not trying to disagree with your link, as a great price, just unsure if there's a better cable available with improved SQ or is the NEOMUSICA cables just a bargain for the SQ.
Cheers John
I imagine there may be other cables priced in between these two extremes, but I haven't found them yet.
You've got a very abrupt way of posting - “Did you bother to read the user reviews?”
1) Yes I did read the reviews on Amazon and found them very helpful 2) I had given a thumbs up to Emoji as I appreciated him supplying the info 3) Agree for the price the Neomusica cables are a great choice, and not much of a risk if not the right SQ 4) I was only looking for advice from other users in regards to 3.5mm plug cables, as they may have experience with them 5) The only headphones I own are Ultrasone Edition 8's (I also have a pair of IEM's - UE900's & Westone W30's), and don't have much experience so was only looking for some advice.
Hope the above clarifies why I asked my question, enjoy your weekend :)

Thanks for the additional link, definitely a BIG jump in cost (at least half price of the Elex).
Will give the Neomusica cable a try as not much cost so nothing to lose.
Cheers John
I've already ordered & received my set & the fit & finish are exemplary for a $17 cable. It's immediately obvious that the cables were made with the Clear in mind due to the silver finish on the covers. I will live with the silver even though I wish that were finished in all black to completely match the Elex's. What I'm not willing to do is spend 25% to 50% of the cost of the headphones in order to get a 3.5mm jack. Everything else I've found has been a minimum of 10x the cost of these cables.
FTR, I also have a Neomusicia replacement cable on my 25yo Sennheiser HD 25's. Even with the inline remote & mic, they sound better than the stock Sennheiser cable.
I'll certainly give the Neomusicia cable a go, as you say cheap for the price so why not try (and given the reviews on Amazon). Do you mind me asking which cable you're talking about being silver in colour, as the one's I see on Amazon are Black (most of them):
