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...

This is a "good deal." It's cheaper here than if you buy directly from the company.
Just sayin'.
They assume we are using some entry level iem or cans. They are not open to possibility that cable make changes to sound. In fact, cable plays a big part to keep every piece of equipment in harmony. Not only it applies to head-fi, but hi-fi as well. Timbre is something technology can't really improve significantly all these years.
If they question the use of cables, I really want them to go all over the tube amps and question the tubes distortions (but they are warm and musical). Placebo-wise, if it makes you feel better on what you listen, then it worths it.
Generally, if you are not even using a $350+ iem, then may be you should invest more on your iem before considering cables. Cable makes good equipment shine.
