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, the cables. I really appeciate the shorter cables that came with it. It's still a little stiffer than I would like, but I think I will enjoy being able to use it with a portable player. Can't wait for my Hiby R3 portable player to arrive.

Again, I'm still trying to make sense of what I'm hearing, but man, it sounds good to me. Very engaging. Perhaps it's accentuating certain frequencies? Sounds like it to me. If the Andromedas and HD650 are considered neutral, then I would say these are NOT neutral. It makes me wonder if I would be able to discern the next level up. Utopias, Stax, or Sonomas...? Hmm...
