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...

Just joined the drop for the HE4XX. These will be my first planar magnetic headphones. Just a question:
How will these compare to Philips Fidelio X2 (headphones I currently own and use for everything)? Owner input from HE400/i owners would be greatly appreciated.
X2: I appreciated its looks, comfort, and durability - but thought its sound was off in a few ways: grainy (not smooth), a large mid-bass hump, major sub-bass roll-off, unnatural treble tuning, and an overly wide sound-stage - without focused center imaging.
400i: Much better tuning - especially in the treble - but still lacking sub-bass. Excellent sound-staging. I wasn't a fan of its headband system (and never owned the original 400), so I'm curious to see how the 4XX does.
I use a SoundBlaster X7 as my amp so hopefully the 4XX pairs well with it.
