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...

I bought the original EDC's as my first true IEM's, and even though they were only $60, they Straight blew my $150 Monster iSport Victory earbuds out of the water! And compared to my even older $40 Skullcandy earbuds, well, there's simply no comparison between the two IMO 😎👍 The EDC's sound much more balanced overall, and the fit and isolation with my Comply foam tips is bar none! Just a great sounding beginner pair of IEM's!
So I'm SURE that the EDC3's even blow the original EDC's out of the water! I'd definitely grab them for $100/pair, and I'll most definitely be grabbing a pair too since I LOVE the sound and comfort of my Primo 8 and EDC IEM's, which both use the same casing/shell as the EDC3's, and are the absolute most comfortable IEM's I've EVER put into my ears!
Sony NW-A35 Walkman> FiiO E11K (A3) HP Amp> OKCSC Upgraded MMCX Cable> Primo 8 IEM's> Comply Isolation+ Large size tips
And
Sony NW-A35 Walkman> OKCSC Upgraded MMCX Cable> Primo 8 IEM's> Comply Isolation+ tips
I haven't really done a comp with the FiiO HP Amp and without since I recently got the Primo 8, but I do think that they sound great through both of those sources!
That said, my Sony Walkman can easily push/power the Primo 8 by itself, and I don't plan on using the FiiO HP Amp unless I'm using my Nuforce EDC IEM's, since they have a low sensitivity of 90db, compared to the Primo 8's sensitivity of 118db.
I haven't listened to them yet at all with my Google Pixel 1 phone, but I'll try this weekend to compare all 3 sources and see which I prefer! I'm EXTREMELY happy with the Sony Walkman>Primo 8 sound though so I honestly probably won't be using anything but the Walkman with them since it has all of my 24bit FLAC Recordings on it already, and I'd just be listening to mp3's with my Google Pixel 1 phone!
