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...

You could spend much more to get a better headphone than 199 Hd6xx, but would you get much better sound out of that? If you don't have one, then for 199 you get an essential. If you already have many, it's still tempting because of new color and cable. That's hd6xx's value.
At 249, many probably could find a couple of earphones equal or better. Looking for fidelity? People may not mind to invest more. Looking for fun? The recent drop of Monk Plus at 4.99 may bring smiles as well. Just get into this money-burning hobby? Start with se215 or Layla is up to your willing. Just have to much money to burn or want to diversify unsatisfied tastes? There are too many available.
X is just over there. Not as classic or popular as 6xx, 7xx , or x00 nor as a bargain as many others. Its cost-performance ratio is just not outstanding.
People usually agree more drivers means better and higher price, less drivers means less. From one side, there are 12 armature drivers earphone at the high end. On the other hand, X's two drivers don't make it shine within Noble's fleet. Will X make less mean better? If X does, it will change the concept but that makes Noble's Trident and Savanna meaningless. If X doesn't, that just falls into people's doubt that X is just a X bears Noble's name. Further, Does X be the same as or better than Sage? If it does, Sage cries. If it doesn't, people definitely think that's the reason X is 249.
Suppose X is not as good as Sage (Savant) that is against people to Massdrop's faith which offers the same quality at more reasonable price or more uniqueness.
I guess X is more or less like Sage but it's different. There is no trick because X has to be based on something. Then it's the way of sound adjustment and cost management.
Back to the fact, What's the value of X? The answer is lighting cable. The first thing I am really interesting in is the lighting cable than X itself. I don't dream on 249 X can make a miracle, but I want to make a use of the two pin lighting cable on with TE 100 and Togo 334. Then I realized X wasn't meant for serious comparison. It's a new product created for the new change. Apple has deleted 3.5mm jack on iphone 7 and promised better sound through lighting cable.
This is called collaboration. Noble extends it's product line without risking it's image and Massdrop offers a unique( Noble) product at relatively low price. At 30 ohms, X is good enough for iphones (smartphones) as causal companion. If it's understood, there's no need to compare with others. Just ask, should I have a Noble on my iphone? : )
