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...

This is my reply to someone else
"It has been a while since I've used my swans but i've got them set up together atm. I've forgotten how good these are without any EQ modifications and without a sub.
Bass > D1080-iv
Mids > D1080-iv/A5+
The mids on the A5+ are still good but I believe the mids on the D1080-iv is a lot better
Treble > A5+
You can increase the treble on the D1080-iv by about 3db but I forgot at what frequency ranges.
The bass knob increases the ~50hz-~250hz range by about 3db although I keep this at 12 o" clock.
Also for build quality I think you really get what you pay for, the A5+ definitely wins in build quality and aesthetics"
For example I loaded up some anime (which is usually low quality audio for non-BD) and the voices sounded dull (not sure if that is the right word to use lol) compared to the A5+. But if I load up some Djent/Prog Metal which in this case was Shades of Black - Ocean: The Prelude it sounds better than the A5+. Listening to the album Odyssey by Yngiwe Malmsteen the A5+ sounds better than the D1080-iv
