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...

Build quality is what I expected for the price - nothing special. I like the red color. I wish the cable was another 4-6 inches longer. I'll probably re-cable them because I can. Speaking of cables, I get zero mechanical noise from it which is outstanding.
I'm still letting my brain adjust to the sound right now but they kind of remind me of a mix between the KSC-75 and the Sennheiser px-200ii. It's an interesting balance. Give me a couple of days and I'm sure there will be some things I can nitpick, but the only sonic issue that I've noticed so far is a ring/sibilance in the upper register of some piano tracks. Their presentation seems to be hit and miss for me depending on the genre/track, but I find myself enjoying 85% of my usual playlists so far.
Again, I'm actually much happier with this purchase than I had anticipated. These will definitely serve as a nice pocket pair of earbuds for trips to the store, short walks or while cleaning the house. Thanks MD
