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...

But I have to say they are absolutely magical with music from the 50s and early 60s. I'm not quite sure how to articulate this without sounding goofy, but they just make music from that era sound fantastic and...authentic. I wasn't around then, but I'm old enough to remember how music sounded on the hi-fi systems of that era when my older relatives played their records. Think lots of brown veneer with yellowish-brown speaker grilles from the pre-disco era, and you'll have the image of the equipment I'm talking about. They sound like that.
I know, what a surprise that music from that era played on the equipment of that era makes it sound like it did in that era - but it's hard to describe how cool it is. I'm not old enough that I have nostalgia for those early days of rock & roll, but I am old enough to appreciate lucking into the opportunity to hear what people were hearing when rock and stereo were still pretty revolutionary.
Now I'm really curious to know whether the PortaPro has been tuned differently over the years, or if they still have their original sound. And if so, is there anything about their tuning that would be distinctive to their birth era. Since I do have nostalgia for the 80s, I'm totally looking forward to finding out when they get here.
In the meantime, I think I may have found a little hobby that I can indulge in when the wife is treasure hunting (and a much cheaper one than buying every single Massdrop collaboration headphone) :)
