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...

BTW - What is that screw thing that's on one side?
As for the screw, there is actually a fairly rare headset version of the PortaPro called the 'speak easy', which has a small boom microphone that's mounted where that screw is, only seems to be available in really obscure places like sweden, czech republic and austria, no idea why.

And the screw is only fixed to the left. Possibly for that boom mike.
Sound: Great, overall the response range is average and the clarity won't be washed out by the budget laid onto the development. Bass is "Koss" like and the wearing comfort is, 8/10. Wearing it over 3 hours will take a toll on your ears. There's no need for an AMP but if you do have it, pair this beauty up and it won't be disappointing :).
Build: Well made plastic construction ensures it's ability to survive at least, a very densely packed backpack. Over that, I have no idea but it won't last long if you've seat or let it grind through your bag's flooding goods. Dropped it several times and most of the time, the frame took the impact so minimum damage taken to the drivers. Cable's very thin, but it should ensures a 3 year's worth of normal usage, as in listening it and not bringing it around often.
To sum it up, if you are not an audiophile and you have the budget of a poor man, Koss Porta is for you. If you are an audiophile and you are looking for an lightweight, great-sounding and not a Grado, this is also for you :D. Rival: Sennheiser PX-100.
