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 did own, for a time, the Audio Technica and Shure combo; it easily matched, in every which manner, the Debut Carbon that I had purchased to replace it. I only found a meaningful upgrade with the Pro-ject RPM 5.1 SE that I was able to have bundled with the Blue Point Special Evo III for $1100; while I might admit that some might believe to hear a couple hundred dollars difference between a well-equipped consumer table and an entry level audiophile component, my under-26-year old ears sure as hell can't.
For reference, my current stereo setups (home theatre and living room both excluded) are as follows: Home stereo RPM 5.1SE with Blue Point Special Evo III and Lehman Audio Black Cube Pioneer VSX-52 (upgrade pending; don't worry) Monitor Audio RX8
Office stereo CEntrance HifiM8 HD800
Mobile stereo Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor Fiio X5
