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...

I ran the TH-X00 mahogany through many hours using a burn in track on loop and didn't notice a difference, yet I can't help but think headphones especially may settle in over years (not just 100 hrs) of use? I also acknowledge that my hearing isn't what it used to be so even if there is a difference, I'm not experienced enough or or in tune enough to notice. I love warm, musical, bassy sound sigs (think JVC fx850 woodies, Fidelio x1, Senn 6xx) and I'm very treble sensitive. Still hoping to find a BA based IEM that can do musical and bass the way a well-done DD can!
And thanks for posting the sibilant test tracks, going to give them a listen on my favorite gear.
I really haven't had a pair of dynamic drivers make huge gains with extended play times with only one exception.
The graphene drivers in the Vsonic GR07 37th Anniversary Special edition IEMs definitely did change sound signature with time. New they sounded decent only with a separate IEM amp, but after several months of listening they have a much more balanced tone and sound much better straight out of my LG V30+.
