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...

-Wait, the V-moda XS are like $80 more. Not exactly in the same price range, there almost twice the price.
" the XS have better bass and I feel the mids and highs are clearer/more distinct. "
- Probably true, but the bass mod probably make the HE-350 more competitive. The difference it make in mine was quite HUGE.
" Plus, the block out more outside noise, so I don't have to turn them up as loud. "
-Duh, open vs closed headphones.
"AKGs that I use for gaming that are around this price range and they sound better than these as well."
- Again probably true. In stock form the HE-350 do not sound very good at all. Harsh highs and anemic bass. Modded, I think they be competitive. I can't believe the difference it made. I also am amazed anyone likes HE-350 stock, so can't fault you for not liking them. I didn't swap pads until doing the mod, but went back to stock as the pleather HM5 pads brought back some of the highs again making it harsh at times (No where near as bad as stock, stock was crazy harsh).
