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...

Since IEMs still have awesome sound quality, they started flooding into the audiophile market, so that is why they are so popular now. Since its alot easier to carry around a pair of CIEM then a giant pair of headphones.
Headphones will always be better ( good quality ones) much more sound stage and dynamics then IEMs. But for artists performing live it would look kinda funny and be uncomfortable using headphones. And they would probably fall off constantly. ( Normal universal IEM fall out quite easily as well, thats why CIEM where made)
One of the advantages over other kinds of headphones and earphones are the fact that they isolate ambient noise (because they fit perfectly in your ear). They also won't fall out of your ears accidentally.
I agree that quality, expensive over the ear headphones can have a larger sound stage and maybe better dynamic range but CIEMs are really close in quality and personally I prefer CIEMs over regular headphones.
I'm super excited about the UERM. This is a really impressive drop (-30% off MSRP). I probably wouldn't have bought them at $999. Thank you MD for this great opportunity!
