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...

I also got my SE530 back from re-cabling today and paired with my new JDS Labs C5d DAC/AMP I noticed a fantastic kick in the bass. I first I wasn't sure if the re-cabling did something (don't generally think cables make much of a difference) maybe It's a combo of both... but the bass was really really improved.
Note I didn't like the combination of the orange filter and the C5D. Stock filter with C5D is a great combo. Orange filter and Note 4 is a good combo. Also I think the C5D made a bigger difference to the SE530 than it did with the SE846 or JH Audio Roxanne.
Was thinking of selling the C5D, and the SE530 once I get it back from re-wiring. Might just have to keep both now. Do I really need three EXPENSIVE earphones?
Just FYI for those interested in these and end up wanting a little more in the bass department.
