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 may not be a headphone freak that compares all the products ever but I listen to wide variety of genres including Ambient Trance & Metal which require driving yet reasonable Bass. I have no problems with these headphones coming from £50 sony / sennheiser models. Its also important to note that like a new pair of shoes they will "loosen" a little, meaning the highs will soften a bit probably after 12 hours of use!
We all have different ears and I personally enjoy a balanced neutral sound. My personal opinion is that these are not high heavy, just neutral. They do have crisp highs, they also have warm bass and round mids. I will also add, that anyone considering a pair of headphones of this price range should have access to a basic EQ anyway. My Opinion.
I'm using mine with a new FiiO E10K Olympus into a Dekstop PC and I am using the Bass switch ON and OFF about equally with different albums. I have yet to feel that I need to EQ.
The headphones do weaken in the highs a little over time, and i still feel they are good neutral headphones.
I would suggest downloading MusicBee as an alternative to iTunes for your laptop/desktop music sessions, it features an EQ, however i still haven't needed it, it would be more useful for a badly produced album.
Also would suggest the FiiO E10K if you can get it reduced on amazon like I did. Volume is only a plus as they are loud enough in my PC jack anyway. In the FiiO i only drive it to 2-3/8, its the crystal clear/rounded audio that makes a DAC worth it IMO.
