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...

It's really hard to give specific recommendations without knowing your preferred sound signature, but if you've got money enough to buy the SE846, you might want to consider the UERR customs from Ultimate Ears (UE Pro Reference Remastered), which go for the same price. You can't really go wrong with them if you're looking for a one-stop solution that gives you great all-around sound quality for any genre of music--without having to pay upwards of $2k as you would for the top of the Noble line (e.g. Kaiser Encore, Katana).
Although having one really good IEM does not guarantee an end to your spiral, there's really no substitute for the fit and comfort of custom IEMs. And the UERR sound is one that is guaranteed to stand the test of time, despite any changes in preference you might have in the future. Plus, you can get transparent housing, no problem. :)
Cheers, and good luck with your journey!
