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...

Looking forward to hearing more stuff about the final unit.
Interestingly Sennheiser just said that this will have similar bass like HD 650. Even if the graph shows a bit more, it's not that big of a difference. So... It would look like it's more or less accurate. Never expected it to improve to HD 650 levels.
Not a part of this drop as yet, but I look forward to the final product.
Let me give you a different scenario - how would you like to join a drop where the bass was rather high and that's exactly the reason why you liked the product, and afterwards, due to the headphones sounding a little boomy, a slight bass reduction would be requested and then you'd receive a product with a significant decrease in bass? Let's say 12dB or so.
I was not discussing if the headphones are better this way or were better before. That's a moot point and is up to individual preference. I only raised the issue of a significant departure from what was offered initially. This is "a good point". The rest is preference.
All this aside, I understand some mods may result in a signature close to the HD600, in which case the final HD58x may still be a very interesting offering for me and fit my intended usage. For the time being, I'm very curious to see what those mods are and the results.
The driver can’t be as good as the HD 660 S driver, but it should still be a good one, and that line soldierdude measured looks REALLY appealing to me (for reasons stated above). Hope everyone who got one is pleasantly surprised, because at the price this is going to be an absurdly good jumping point into high quality audio.
Once this production version is released, I don’t think Sennheiser will change the sound unless they rename it.
edit: Oh, I thought you said Bass, not price, haha. Yeah, they already said the price would go up, but probably still a bargain.
