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...

As others have said, despite having lots of bass, it is still tight and accurate. They seem fairly sensitive as well, making audible noise at even the lowest volume setting on my Sansa Clip+ (though it is difficult to ignore your own breathing at such low volumes due to pretty good isolation). Higher frequencies aren't isolated as much as the rest of the spectrum due to the ported nature of the enclosure, and there can be some pressure issues when initially inserting them (driver crinkle). Despite the flat cable it is still slim enough to wear over the ear, which I always do. However, I think this hurts the purpose of having a flat cable in the first place as it doesn't seem as tangle resistant as some other flat cabled IEMs I've owned with thicker cables. Ear tips seem to have gotten more supple with use.
Having owned VSonic VSD1S, Soundmagic E10, RHA MA350, JBL J33, and Sennheiser's IE60, and a host of other cheap stuff, these NE-600X's have my favorite frequency response . They're not perfect in other respects, but they are cheap.
