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...

and 24 hours later.... : )
"More updates...first...I've discovered (obviously) the NE800m "now' come with 8 pairs of tips not 5, 3 pr black (less slippery rubber? s, m, l), 3 pr silicone s,m,l, 2 pr of Comply M & L. (might just be a Massdrop thing) So...coming from the installed med. black tips and moving over to the large black (rubber?) tips reduces the insertion depth and cures some of the base bloat but with a very slight drop in treble detail (maybe not a bad thing), similar results with the large semi-clear (silicone) tips and Sennheiser's tips for the Momentum in-ear...the small tips were just too small for my ear canals, reducing the base, isolation and literally fall out...Complys I'll leave to last... But it'll take long term listening to get a better grasp on the differences, especially with regards to the tonal balance between the base, mids and treble...too many variables to acquire a neutral presentation at this stage...but getting there. .......overall so far liking what I'm hearing and wearing and comfort is very similar to my ie800s....... "
and....
"They currently actually sound fairly decent...not quite the sophistication of my Senn ie800s which remain cool and collected even at high volumes....but even comparing the two after 24hrs there has been an improvement...we'll see what more "time" will bring (the Fiio X3 II is set to play through folders and on an AC USB adapter so ..."music non stop" ). At this point though they are definitely higher end sounding than the comparably priced Sennheiser Momentum ie which they're replacing. "
all for now...
I’ll report back……
