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...

Please note that though I like full-bodied sound I wouldn't exactly call myself a basshead (I was happy with the Shure SE530 sound) so I'm not screaming for MOAR BASS here, but I think it needs to step forward more.
Granted, my ears are now used to 'phones with metal casings but I don't think that alone would account for the effect I'm describing.
Maybe it is phasing, that hadn't occurred to me before.
Sorry if I came across as bashing, I was just feeling a bit concerned.
Which cable are you using? The braided or mic cable? Based on your comments I think you are using the braided cable and I would encourage to try the mic cable as it makes a difference especially on lower frequencies.
