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...

The Noble Xs are a more colored/warm IEM. Where they do beat the AKGs is the soundstage. I feel very immersed in the music I listen to, and it's comfortable to listen to and wear for extended periods of time. It's very much a daily driver type IEM. I heard that BAs aren't capable of producing the amount of bass a DD can produce, but the Noble X proved that wrong at least to me. The sub-bass is there, but not overly noticeable, but the mid-bass is tight and punchy with some extra oomph. Mids are great, and the treble - really really comfortable to listen to. It really isn't sibilant at all. I have the LZ-A4s, and the sub-bass and mid-bass on those is great, but the treble is too strident (using the blue front filter). I didn't use the black front filters on the LZs because I feel they reduce the soundstage, but that's just my (most likely placebo) experience.
I think comparing the AKG K3003 (a top of the line IEM) to the Noble Xs is comparing apples to oranges. The AKG K3003s are reference monitors and are meant to provide very accurate and analytical sound. The Noble Xs turn sound into music, I feel like I'm being focused on the overall song rather than individual elements of it. Hopefully that makes sense.
