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...

If you need the isolation, your current PC 350 SE will suit you well. Otherwise, the PC37X will have greater fidelity.
Is the mic similar to the one on the 350 SE? Further, what led to changing the material on the pads? Are they still wearable for an extended period of time without discomfort like the 350?
(For the record, I'm extremely happy with the 350. Easily the best headphones I've got at the moment for sustained wearing)
Closed headphones need different pads to help reduce sound from leaking out. That's why the pads are sealed and usually made out of some type of leather (ours are protein leather). We worked hard on the materials selection, so we're glad you like them!
Pads on open headphones tend to feel softer on the skin, using velour (or a microsuede). The pads aren't sealed so a little sound leaks through, but they also trap heat less and should be even better for sustained listening/gaming marathons!
Just like the PC 350 SE, the PC 37X has a "snug" clamping force to distribute weight and keep the headset secure, but the earcups have two axis of movement so they can lay flat against your head to prevent hot spots of pressure. If you found the PC 350 SE comfortable, there's a good chance you would find the PC 37X even more so.
Sennheiser is simply the best! :)
