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 find them super comfortable. They fit my big (some would say fat) head very well. They feel much more secure than do the AKGs. Putting the AKGs back on for a quick comparison, I find the HE4XX sound smoother in the the upper midrange and treble, and they seem to have a bit more oomf in the upper bass / lower midrange as well.
Equipment-wise, the HE4XX are fine with my Schiit Fulla-2 and Schiit Magni-3 (neither get above 9 oclock) as well as my Pixel phone.
I was really satisfied with the AKGs for mmm almost 10 years I think, but at the price (almost $100 cheaper than the 400s in Canada) I had to try the HE4XX, and I'm really glad I did.
I don't have K501s; I have K701s. As well as the HE4xx of course. Anyway, I had a brief listening comparison again just this week, and I find that the high-frequency percussion is certainly more notable on the K701s - for me, too notable; I almost find it "crunchy". Anyway, if you can name a specific classical work that I happen to have on hand (I lean toward choral works, the Baroque, and the modern. The big romantic stuff - Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mahler - tend to be of less interest), I am happy to listen on both and report back to you.
