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...

Edit: Picked up Audio Technica IM70s. They sound pretty great. I'm not a fan of the over-ear fitting but I'll get used to it. Massdrop's NuForce EDC IEMs look great and all, but I sure would've loved to see or read a review from some Youtube audiophile influencers. Perhaps I'll buy a pair next time around.
Oriveti Basic: thick sub bass, warm and slightly dark sound, very charming male vocals. Doesn't sound congested or murky. Laid back and bassy listen. Has detachable cables like the Shures, but one ups it with its aluminum construction. The stock cable is also far more ergonomic than Shure's. $99
Though the TFZ Series 5 doesn't have detachable cables, people have often said that it stomps the SE215 in terms of sound quality. $50
Another mention is the Tennmak Pro -- people have said nothing but good things about the Tennmak Pro which has detachable cables and a warm bassy sound. $25
And of course, these Nuforce might even be comparable to the SE215. IMO these are really attractive looking IEMs too.
Just curious, do you own a pair of SE215's?
That being said, I have owned the rest of the mentioned IEMs, and had the Shure SE846 for a week on loan from a friend (didn't like the 846 either).
EDIT: was just meaning I enjoy them, not fanboying or trying to defend them
