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 for worth it, yes, definitely. While I have never heard every IEMs out there, we once have discussion with my local audiophile community friends and they were all agree that it is difficult to find midrange like TWF41 in this price point.
The other IEM I owned that competes in this price is FX850 from JVC. This one has powerful bass, slightly V-shaped sound. I consider TWF41 to be a class above it in everything but the bass. It all comes down to preference though, FX850 is a lot of fun, but TWF41 is very nice for relaxing. I still owned and loved both. :)
Another IEM to consider that I owned is Echobox Finder X1, it's cheaper at $199 but has the best build quality out of all IEM I owned (FX850 is close second). It's very small, comfortable and sealed extremely well. The sound is on the brighter side, midrange is quite thin, sometime dry and harsh, but bass is powerful and hit with deep impact. It has 3 different tuning filter to customize the sound too, although it mostly affect the bass region.
Anyway, they were all different sounding and has different trade-off. X1 is my on-the-go cans due to the form factor, but when I'm sitting and relaxing, I'm reaching for TWF41. I loved the smooth sound of it. :)
