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...

- Horrid material quality (black paint starts peeling in weeks, the firm part of the wire is prone to snapping if you adjust it frequently)
Have the mids gotten better for you after time? I listen to some female vocals like Jackie Evancho and Enya.
Hope yours hold up well and continue enjoying them!
These definitely have a break-in period of at least 150 hours of use. But I've found a definite change.
The biggest change is it's stereo imaging ability. Despite being right in your ear, these manage to make a decently wide soundstage and have a frighteningly precise ability to image within that soundstage. I find the mids are not the brightest part, but you don't listen to these and feel like you're missing out. I listen to a fair bit of female vocals (Soccer Mommy, Chvrches, Bjork, Grimes, Little Dragon, etc.) and some male vocals that are in higher registers (Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Rhye, Son Lux) and at no point do I feel disappointed with the performance of these buds. And this is coming from a guy who used to daily a mids and highs heavy hitter, the Shure se425. Honestly the ue900s shine the most on tracks with lots of great transients as well as really deep sub-bass. So synthpop like Little Dragon, jazz like Miles Davis, and downtempo like James Blake really make these IEMs all-stars.
