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...

Sure, it's not one size fits all. If the mic and control is for the iPhone, then almost all modern Android phones will still work just fine -- but only the audio out (see https://longtailproducts.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/207970396-Smartphone-Headset-Standards-Apple-iPhone-AHJ-CTIA-OMTP ) which makes it no worse for Android users than no mic/control but DOES provide that functionality for iPhone users. Now, that seems the best choice -- no mic equivalent for Android users and mic/control for iPhone users.
But, my point is that many IEMs on massdrop polls and drops seem to be focused on audiophiles and not so much on smart phone users.
