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 care so much about the original purpose of something, take a perfectly plain headphone and listen to that boring sound.
However, the better the equipment, the better cable you need to have to utilize your good kits. I myself has a pretty nice set of equipment here and the purpose of switching cables and amps is to suit different moods. Synergy is also important as well. I suggest testing the actual cable before buying.

Expectation Bias? Placebo Affect? Sunken Ship Bias? Ever heard of those?
Well no, you haven't. Because you're a science denier apparently.
If you think science has got it all figured out, I guess you can join the club of stubborn narrow-minded thinkers who know-it-all, but are historically very, very wrong. We think we understand these concepts, but only a fool would say that everything is definitively proven. We know next to zero about how things work, relatively speaking, and especially how the brain can use input from auxiliaries, let alone the fact that we haven't refined machines and instrumentation to nearly the fidelity of the brain's capability. How can we measure these two things with a machine then?
We just pretend we know everything to help us sleep better at night.
For the record, I have never heard a difference in cables of relatively similar build qualities, but when I hear the "science bullies" coming to town and preventing the exploration of abstract ideas, it's time to remind everyone of history of modern scientific discovery..
You mean to tell me that we know everything there will ever be known about electricity? About wave patterns? Even at the quantum level? You are kidding yourself, and my original point remains unchanged. The LAW of gravity has been disproven by Einstein through the concept of Time-Space.... You think stereos are so easy because you don't understand even a fraction of a percent about what is truly going on. Think about it for a second, then please explain to me the full potential of possibilities which explain everything we don't know about the sub-particle relationship between electronic plasma fields and conductive elemental materials. The answer may take you infinity +1, because we have yet to explain through any research definitively, and we certainly don't "know" anything about, these sub-particle interactions.
Your focus is one mm in front of your nose; time to zoom out a bit.
I honestly don't care one bit about materials used in construction of cables, as long as it sounds the best to me... I do, however, like shiny things though, which probably gets me in trouble a lot, but that is definitely beside the point. :)
