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 Samson phone with the pictured huge velour pads looks extremely worth it. It's a great configuration for $50 that's offered here. Definitely get it and you can even take it a step further and also get the HD681 (put the Samson pads onto it) for a slightly different and open sound, and all in all you end up having two amazing headphones.
The amazing superlux headphone is rebranded or modded by a couple companies. Check out the Presonus HD7 for another example, but without any fantastic earpads.
These are incredible headphones. The frequency response fits the equal-loudness contour so they sound balanced, albeit a little bit bright but incredibly detailed. You can compare them to $100 or $200 cans. Bass extension is very deep but very tight and not bloated or too loud. No overpowering low-mids or high-bass. They're slightly smiley-face curved which personally I like, but in no way unrealistic sounding. Very natural. They are definitely studio monitor due to the smooth FR.
Because the earpads are the weak points of the original Superlux headphone (not even worth using unless you replace them), what users have done is get the Superlux (NOT the EVO versions) for $40 on eBay and also get the well-recommended Shure HPAEC840 ear pads ($20). These are the ear pads for the Shure SRH 840 which are often recommended to be used on various different headphones to improve the sound and comfort. Still, some people have to accurately cut and add padding themselves behind the Shure earpads for good comfort.
This Samson phone already has huge velour earpads that even further will increase SQ and already provide the best comfort. All the hassle is done and if I hadn't spent forever making my own pair already, I would have bought these and had something better.
Do you know if there is a closed version of the superlux that is as cheap as the hd681?
