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...

full disclaimer : I have exposure of this headset in my younger days, loved it then, so bias is a given. TL;DR: Looks cheap. feels cheap. leaks sound like crazy on higher volume. nice paint job and beefier -lower cables-. sounds hella awesome. bass is prioritized, and has a similar sound signature with bose. The Full Story: after almost contacting dhl customer service for my yet to be recieved package, lo and behold at my desk.. a small poo ish black thing. even smaller from what i remembered. the unboxing experience is.. tepid. but hey, looks aint the reason i buy this thing. Never Leaving The 80's. As much as i love to hate the poo look, the cheap feeling is apparent. its not that it isnt well made, the materials are solid enough, it just feels like it can break at anytime. on the plus side, its almost weightless. with the proper adjustment, it feels like nothing. Low Blow. solid full bass is the name of the game, and the poo aint taking prisoners. give it some bass and it will throw it back at you with a vengeance. its not overpowering but it does show some preference towards the low end. thats not stopping me enjoying the hell out of my tunes. sound will leak for sure when you get to certain volume level. Hearing is Believing. one of the high points is how when i pass this around the office and looking the disbelief look of those sampling this poo. between the 'how much' questions and the taking off, looking at the headphones and putting it on repeatedly with a confused look, a pattern emerge. Everybody seems to be enjoying the sound it produces. It baffles me that a product looking like this could actually sound as good as it is. since 1984. Amazing. Treat yourself and others to the wonder of disbelief at an affordable price, poo ish looks notwithstanding.
