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...

The Monk+ is lighter on the bass, much better for vocals, rock, and country. I would say the Monk+ is better for relaxing type of music, and to me was more fun because it is a unique type of sound for an earbud to do so well imaging wise. It helps you hear the "echo" type noise of vocals you hear in a lot of the recordings. The Monk+ is worth the money, while it may not be a miracle it is a great experience for a good price. The earbuds are a bit bigger, like old school cheap Sony buds so they can get uncomfortable for long periods. They can fall out pretty easily if you don't have big ears.
I have a small assortment of earbuds under $40, the hybrids are also fairly unique in this price range with multiple drivers. For songs where both drivers are working at the same time this earbud shines, giving a fuller sound with more separation. The bass in certain songs can be clear and impactful, occasionally muddy in the wrong song. When listening to rock or mid heavy music, I prefer other earbuds like my MEE CW31p's (really like MEE's tip selection for comfort). The hybrids give you a glimpse of what dual driver earphones can accomplish, fit pretty decently and have a really nice look to them.
Cord is nicer than the Monk+, which has a rubber coating that can snag. I have the EX pack for the Monk+, I prefer the rubber rings but those rub off the earphones in my bag sometimes.
If I had to choose one, I'd go with the Monk+, but I carry both in my bag because of the bass bump of the hybrids.
