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...

When it comes to comfort, I like them. I have rather small head - to the point sometimes I resort to buying kid's sizes. These sit around ears and clamping force is strong enough to keep them even on my head. I find it OK, but I see this being uncomfortable for people with larger heads.
As for sound ... well, I am no audiophile and my experience with either pair of 'better' headphones, or gaming headset, is limited to Sennheiser HD575 (a unique and controversial kind of headphones as I learned many years after happily using them LOL), and HyperX Stinger as entry-level gaming headset. These sound more ... bassy than HD575. Not muffled, clear enough, just ... different. Maybe that's the "adjusted for gaming"? Speech in games and voice chat is clear, that's important. And they sound better than Stinger, definitely. I also appreciate they are open.
I haven't heard any complaints regarding microphone, and my tests on computer and Skype test calls were good.
All in all, I like them and will be using them. I ordered second set even.
