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...

Instead of buying the flawed HE-350's, I recommend buying any of these headphones, which sound good - and are comfortable - out of the box:
AKG K7XX https://www.massdrop.com/buy/akg-k7xx-massdrop-first-edition-headphones Lasmex L-85 https://www.massdrop.com/buy/lasmex-l-85-headphones (EQ required) Philips SHP9500 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ENMK1DW Philips X2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O2Y2MZG BeyerDynamic DT880 Premium Chrome Version http://www.ebay.com/itm/311742462942 Sennheiser HD598 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0126HISOO/ Sennheiser HD600 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004SY4H Sennheiser HD6xx https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-sennheiser-hd6xx
From the headphones on your list I've had K7XX, HD598, HD600, HD650, X2, and SHP9500. I've also had plenty of other headphones as well, and the only headphone I actually prefer over my HE-350 so far was the HD800, which is like 10x the price.
I think it really depends a lot on the person, especially when it comes to the highs. I really like the highs on the HE-350 and prefer it 100% of the time over my K7XX. I've swapped between the HE-350 and K7XX quite a few times when listening to music and playing games, and to me the HE-350 was just more enjoyable. I will say that I was an AKG fan too, considering I owned multiple Q701s at the time when I ordered my K7XX in the first place, and preferred the Q701 over both Sennheiser HD600 and HD650. At this point the only reason I still even have the K7XX is because I like how it looks, lol.
