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 am listening with Deezer HQ streaming and an O2-ODAC. My reference headphones are Sennheiser HD598 BE's, Beyerdynamic DT 770 80 Ohm's, AKG K701's and AKG K7xx Special Edition's. Compared to all of the mentioned the Hifiman HE-350's are pure, neutral detail. K7xx might be better at the low end, HD598 better at mid range, but all lose some detail somewhere. The HE-350's start with clean neutral base, continue with clean neutral mids and finish with clean neutral highs, very high highs. It's the consistency that is special. Some might find this consistant representation of very detailed highs fatiguing and it definitely needs some getting used to, but I love it. There is just more perceivable music at the high end. It is like experiencing a whiter white - it might be blinding at first, but it's also really awesome if you have never seen it (I know colors dont work that way and this probably sounds dumb, idc). Maybe also that's because my ears also work at higher frequencies than average human ears, I don't know.
To conclude, these have something that all of my 200+ USD headphones do not have, neutral consitency and very high highs. And that for half the price. Even if you dont like it, its something different, something new that is worth trying out imho.
I will report back after some break-in...
