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.

Unboxing: elegant and functional. Nothing over the top. Very easy to unbox. No fussing with unnecessary wrappers or zip ties.
Contents: gorgeous carrying case, headphones, unbalanced cable and adapter.
Aesthetics: they look fantastic and just as pictured in marketing material.
Comfort: so far they fit me very well (and I have a large noggin and ears). No discomfort to speak of.
Earcups: there's confusion out there what material are the earcups made out of. I'm going to say they are a polymer, not metal. If you flick it gently the sound is that of a hard polymer, not the 'ting' or resonance metals have.
Sound: I test new headphones w/o any EQ or sound modification of any type and with the same playlist of lossless songs downloaded via Deezer. I'll be A/B testing with AQ NIghtOwl which as of this writing are my BFF cans.
1 hour mark: sound stage and dynamic range are amazing. They are fast w/o being aggressive. They are not a clinical, flat sound, but they are truthful. I don't sense any part of FR being pumped or recessed.
