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...

There are several really nice things about these headphones: Shure customer support is amazing (they transitioned me from the E500 to the SE530 to the SE535, all free of charge, due to the cables fraying at the monitors; they replaced a crushed monitor for half price when it was definitely my fault...), they have replaceable cables (so you can get rid of the Shure memory wire if you don't like it, get them balanced if you desire, or add an inline remote / microphone), and there's an awesome first-party silicone sleeve from Senaphonics (that I highly recommend purchasing) that basically makes these into a CIEM.
If you were on the fence, I can definitely recommend picking them up.
For horns and guitars, these things are absolutely fantastic. Listen to some Holst and they'll make you fall in love. Throw on some classic rock and just listen to the guitars. As far as what I'd recommend for classical music? The Noble 4 (or 4C / 4S) would be my go-to recommendation, followed by the 1964ears V6 (assuming you're okay spending a couple hundred more on customs / get the unadvertised universal fit model). If you're looking for roughly the same price range, I'd recommend the ER4S (although I don't personally like them; too anemic, lacking in bass, and analytical for my tastes). If you have unlimited budget, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Noble Kaiser 10. It can make literally anything you throw at it sound amazing (genre wise; it won't make those 128 kbps mp3s sound any better).
