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 do hope that Fostex's QC (would not doubt them but just voicing concern) would put two cups on the same headphone with almost exact similar grain/color but you never know some times.
The edges of the cups were neither sanded nor lacquered, so they looked rough and matte compared to the rest of the cup.
The lacquering on the rest of the cup can be hit and miss. Mine were glossy and mirror like by the Fostex logo, but towards the edges, the lacquer was thin and rough and not glossy at all.
The first pair was so bad I had to return them. The second pair was much better.
I felt like i was one of the few that was not completely thrilled with the Mahogany. They sound great but I feel like these were a 'okay' value at $399, but at $499 its to much IMO, Ebony or not. Would not suggest them at that price and probably wouldn't suggest them at $399.99.
I will probably refinish the cups myself if I ever take them apart. It just requires some sanding down, and maybe a new coat of lacquer.
