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...

A headphone amp will probably make them sound a bit better, as I was listening directly out of my iPhone 6+. Turns out they are harder to drive than I expected. I admit I do like my music loud but not earbleedingly so and I had to push the volume up to within two or three notches of maximum to get there.
Build quality is average, rather plastic and creaky feeling. The cable is nice and heavy and appears to be good quality. Packaging was also very nice. Comfortwise I'm pretty sure these were designed for smaller melons. My noggin might be a bit larger than average, but I had to adjust the sliders up to the second to highest notch, and the clamping force is pretty tight.
As with all headphones these are just my impressions, based on my ears. YMMV. I know my expectations were pretty high, especially after waiting so long, but even if I had ordered them yesterday I would still call them average. Maybe they will break in a bit. I don't regret the purchase, but if I had it to do over again I would probably go with some Grado SR-80's instead. I sure hope the RE-00's currently en-route turn out to be good.
