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...

Not sure how credible that person who made the post is but based on the more recent picture (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/venture-electronics-headphone-cables/talk/1855719), I would say it does not look that long unless you are wearing padded shoulders from your rugby game.
Edit: I see they are handmade i guess, is this standard pricing in that case? i'm not familiar with after market cables. I also see it only ends in a 4 pin, are there no options for 6.3 or 3.5 mm for HD6xx?
I have not received my cable yet which landed in my country 2 days ago, probably will get it later or tomorrow, so I have not seen this personally. But from the pictures posted, it looks very well made and will definitely look and feel better than the stock rubbery cable provided with the HD6XX.
The HD6XX also came with the 3.5mm connector and most amplifier(not balanced) uses the 6.3mm connector which is one of the main reason why I bought this. I would like to avoid using adapter as much as I can because they do not look good.
There is no 3.5mm connector for this but I am pretty sure the 6.3mm connector was available but sold out. If you scroll down the list you will see it.
Instead i'm eyeing up something like this for true universality for the long term! https://bestintheverseaudio.com/products/headphone-to-female-3-5mm-interconnect-compatible-with-all-headphones
