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...

they are far from the best but, at 30, that would bump his value rating to a 10 i bet... 8.5 at the normal price you find htem for at amazon and the like.
give me an extra foot on the cord, metal shells and the option for a headset version i would gladly pay 20bucks more for that set... mass drop exclusive perhaps?
i have much more expensive sets like my hf5's, but these beat them in comfort, not in overall sound, but they are less fatiguing and never harsh even with poor mastering/encoding... very forgiving... part of why i love them for audio books...some of the cassette rips are horrific for the tape noise....
they beat the hf5's in comfort for sure.
with the pl50, the stock tips are meh to crap, for most people, but once thats sorted and you find tips that work for your ears, and eq them a bit, you really can get a good sound out of them, you wont get brain rattling bass but what you will get is alot of detail in the bass you do get vs any dynamic i have had in this price range..
the hf5's, if you dig around a bit, can be had on sale cheaper then the massdrop price by a bit, if you want something cheaper, the mc series are also considered to be quite good bang/buck entry into etymotics, the kids are even good if you got an amp(300ohm to prevent kids from harming their ears...but alot of adults on head-fi really like them as work/every day carry iem's)
one nice thing about etymotic is, you can trade in out of warr iem's for sizeable discounts on any set of iem's they make, when this set of hf5's dies, im going to get er4's to replace them via the upgrade program :)
Anyway, thanks for the detailed review! Appreciated :)
