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 acquired both pair recently but have not burned them in fully. the 650 (6xx) has the best bass definition of anything i have ever heard, making for very 3D like an «rythmic» sound, but the response is pretty uneven and often instrument are missing or overly present. the higher bass hump is the most annoying thing in my mind, which you can equilize well, but in the midrange and in the very top there are part of the spectrum missing. they benefit a lot though from burn in. hd58x has a better equilibrated, sound more realistic overall, and poundering bass though not as tight or extendend, and the highest frequencies it outputs are a bit too loud, like cymbals, and it becomes fatiguing to MY ears, but the overal balance is better and you feels the presence of every (more) instruments in the song. it has also a tiny less bit of detail overall than the hd650. I prefer them to the hd650 for movies. The graininess i have remarked also, but it gets better, but not perfect as it burns in. Both have defenitly strengths belonging to a more elevetated market segment, but they also have their small quirks, which one may be picky (like me) or not about.
I'm still a novice so I can't really go into detail on the difference between their sounds.
The Jubilees are smooth themselves, but in comparison, sound more aggressive and upfront. If the HD 6XX could get drunk and lose their manners, that's how the HD 58X sound. God bless!
They just need a good voltage swing to sound loud. But the source will definitely impact a lot they sound quality, and then you will need an amplifier of some sort, unless integrated in the source. Hd58x will sound louder at same volume setting, but will benefit from a good source also.
