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 detect (with my mk1 ear) no line noise or hiss unless I ramp the output on the mixer to max without any audio playing, and dial the speakers to 7+. This is what I had hoped for, very much a plus. The highs are nice and high, the mids are solid, and while the lows aren't as thumpy as a subwoofer, they do make themselves nicely felt. I don't feel like I need to pair them with a sub, it'd help, but is very much so not needed. The tones are all clean, with no easily discernible muddiness. Very win.
I haven't tried the TRS, but the XLR ports are smooth and not overly tight. No worries about getting cables stuck in them or having problems pulling 'em out.
That glossy finish is dead sexy when paired with a glass and aluminum environment (Macs and glass desk). The power indicators are not overly bright, so no need to mar the finish by covering them. They ain't spotlights, just little soft white glow patches.
These will work perfectly for casual listening or pro-ish monitoring purposes. Rather happy I settled on these instead of the JBL C2PS I was about to order.
Still worth the cot.
