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...

RE0 has emphasized treble and bass depending on what tips you put on it. More bass than treble or more treble than bass depending on how a person uses it. The sound becomes most balanced with Ultimate Ears grey tips, to my ears, and was my preferred way of using it. With other tips, a user will most likely get a V-shaped sound of some kind or another out of RE0, in my opinion.
And to emphasize what has been said, this earphone probably isn't for bass lovers who must have +8-12dB bass boost relative to the rest of the audio band.
Given your endorsement of the post to which you're responding, I'm surprised you took my statement so literally. "Waiting for a drop like this" also can mean "waiting for an opportunity to buy those dearly departed earphones (i) in my moo-hanking dreams or (ii) something comparable at the same miser-friendly price." Whether or not anyone *expected the RE-0s of X00-mas past to be dropped* is a topic for foonts who itch to ken whether the grass on the other side of the fence really is greener. "What do you mean 'the grass is always greener'?! It's the same bloody color!" "No, it isn't! Grass looks *nothing* like blood!"
"RE0 has emphasized treble and bass depending on what tips you put on it, " etc.
Valensilious, light o' my life, you're going to have to install a few more pews where you preach so that they can be shaped by the buttocks of people like me, who are better known as The Converted. But thanks for the UE tips rec; I hadn't tried those (if you mean the gray ones that came with my hoary TF10s) but might do so should the use and effects you've described apply similarly to the different mystery sig of the RE-00.

I'm not certain that aptr91 understands you're agreeing with me here.
You sound as though you've been on Head-fi for ages (in my case, it's been about twelve years). What's your user name, if you don't mind my arsking?
