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...

Though, as a hint....replace the provided cable with a better one as it's bottleneck. Get something better, not just another, there are worse. It really makes a big difference, as I did some tests with different cables. I use it now with some hama 10-15$ cable, plated and everything, so get something at least like that.... don't jump over $20 with it as that turns stupid fast from there on. The better cable improved the signal from phone to it and everything got better, more hifi, the level of details increased.
Also, use it with a proper phone, probably that's a good thing to do, ever if you're a freak of this sort. I play it with a LGV20, so it looks like a good match. Get a decent phone with a proper DAC in it and a good cable... forget dongles or other junk :)..like bluetooth, beats, so on. I tried it with some Meze 11 Neo and 12, DT770 250 and 32ohm, 990, K240, yamaha hph200's and 4xx. It makes them all clearer. I didn't thought it will have any impact on the Mezes but it made them sound even clearer too plus more sound stage, though they are 16 ohm iem's.
So, in short, I recommend this, not that I'm some authority but it worth the investment :). Don't forget to get a better cable.
