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...

The T2 Pro has more treble, and with silicone tips I think it's overly sibilant. The sibilance is solved with foam tips, but if you don't like foam tips (they need replacing more often), I think the T2 Pro is not a good option. I also think the silicone tips give a better seal and so the original T2s feel bassier than my T2 Pro. Not a big difference in the bass, but noticeable.
Also, I think the T2's "lack of bass" is pretty overstated. The bass isn't as emphasized as on similar headphones in this price (KZ, TRN, Final), BUT it's still pretty solid bass. Headphones like Grado SR80, AKG K1000, and even Sennheiser HD600s are legit light on bass. The T2 has more bass than all of them. They're just not bass cannons like some other cheap IEMs.
I personally like the comfort of foam and have been getting better isolation with comply foam than with silicone, but that's just my ears. So I guess I wouldn't be worried about treble sibilance. Your Pro review discusses the sparkle of the treble, which is what they were apparently trying to add. Does this diminish the balanced sound signature so widely respected in the original T2s? I guess I'm wondering if it's treble heavy (does it emphasize treble) or does it just incorporate treble sound that most in-ears miss? Also, have you tried the mod by covering the vent hole with tape to see if this boosts bass on the Pros with Comply tips? I had heard good things about that mod on the original T2, but not many people got the Pros on early release to test this. I'm just wondering if this would further balance out any treble emphasis and bring back some of the bass lost from the foam tips.
