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...

They are a bit bass leaning, but not at the expense of other frequencies. Absolutely no sound fatigue even after long hours of listening. I enjoy their sound maybe even a bit more than AKG K553. I would not hesitate to buy them again even for MSRP (which I did), for 59$ these are absolute bargain. You will not want to use Hifiman RE-400 or other sub-100$ IEMs ever again.
I must admit though that both my earpiece outer covers fell off after a few months and had to superglue them back. Did not damage the look nor sound :) On the other hand, cable seems pretty sturdy and survived a few jolts.
My recommendations: Burn them in. In this case, it is not a placebo. And use comply earplugs, prefferably without "wax filter" (it deteriorates the sound). Unfortunately, these come with the wax filter version, but still better than silicone tips.
TL,DR: Buy them, burn them in and enjoy them as much as I do :)
