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...

Edit: On second hour I realized it isn't the bass I have an issue with. These IEMs are more neutral compared to my HE-500s (which are fairly warm in comparison). I believe thats the difference I was noticing not to mention the HE-500 has such a smooth sound.
Edit 2: Yea, I'm noticing detail I hadn't noticed on my he-500 on certain tracks. Seems easier to identify sounds/instruments with the se535 but still the preferable/more pleasurable sound is on he-500. But as I go through my headphone test music play list... I'm starting to like these more and more.
Edit 3: Yea I'm diggin these IEMs. The sound is much more focused and intimate. I do prefer this when I commute especially on the subway. However If I'm at home I do prefer the more open and live like sound from my primary setup.
I listend to Moonglow by Quincy Jones, on my he-500 sounds like im there listening to it live in a concert hall. But on my SE535 sounds like im there in a recording studio. I can't explain it, i'm no audiophile but i appreciate quality. I also listened to Body And Soul with tony bennett and Amy Winehouse. Sounds so clean... But my he-500 just makes female vocals sound OUT of this world. These IEMs are great, I'm diggin it the longer i listen to them. Next on the list was Luck Be A Lady by Frank Sinatra. All FLAC. Fantastic. I love both of these headphones... THey offer different experiences but both quality sound.
Edit 4: It's been 4 days straight where im using the small foam tips provided by shure. I just got my comply slim P series tips last night. I've been using them for 4 hours now. Maybe it is in my head... But the sound is far more desirable with these Comply Tips. The bass is more relaxed and smooth (not in your face with stock tips) and the treble is better. Overall far more pleasurable smoother sound. I love it.
