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...

Another headphone worth looking at is the Fostex T50rp mk. 3. It's got wonderful, tight, accurate bass, a great midrange and just perfect highs, and it's planar magnetic. You can get it on Amazon for $150 with a two week shipping time.
These Fostex'es, isn't semi-open worse than open? Also, are they usable without an amp like the HE-350 and K7XX seem to be?
As for the semi-open vs open debate, I'll say that they definitely have the soundstage of an open back, with great directional positioning. Also, your HM5s will fit the Fostex and be a marked improvement over the stock pads.
I had also looked at the Fostex TH-500RP back when it was on sale for $330 (on another site), but that was a bit too much money for me at the time, and now it's $400.
The Fostex T50RP MK3 looks fine, but it's a semi-open headphone and I'm really looking for a fully-open.
It seems I overstated the deal, even with the weak pound and strong dollar, it's a fair bit more expensive than 100$. Still, cheaper than amazon though I've no experience with the shop.
