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...

These are certainly better in quality and quantity of the low end than any of my other phones. I am not a basshead, at all. I tend to listen to classical, classic rock, jazz, indie, and other laid back music. This seems, to me, to be the appropriate amount of bass and sub-bass for me. There's some thump in the sub-bass, but they've done a great job of not having it overpower anything else. It's well-contained.
The mids are detailed, but not super present. The highs lack the sparkle that I tend to enjoy. They mix in well with the rest of the sound. I guess that's the summary of how I'd describe these headphones - the entire band works together well. There separation between different voices and instruments is not as good as my Grado RS1i (where I can easily isolate individual guitars on a track and almost tune out the others), but the TH-X00 presents everything all at once, and is well balanced. Soundstage is pretty good.
To me, these sound like sitting in a well-tuned movie theater. Worth the $500? I'd say so.
By the way, I received #8!
