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...

When I look up reviews on a site that has a rating system (like Amazon), I always start with the middle to find those who try to present all sides. I then filter through the good and bad reviews looking for the same arguments shared by those in the middle, and how their experiences differed to warrant the change in rating.
I used to post more on headfi, but have been a bit disillusioned with their rigged rating system there.
To me there's no real formula for a good review. Me personally, I write mine a bit like high-school-essay or science paper format. Start with an intro and state the main points (or a straight up TL;DR) and my relevant gear/experiences. Follow with the body and main analyses. Cap it off with a summary because some people only read the ending and didn't see my tldr at the beginning. Then I shove a whole bunch of pictures into the second post because I'm not going to be fancy and format my review to look like a gorram advertisement.
When I post impressions, I try most of the time to give it in relation to another product so people can draw a valid comparison. I have enough experience and confidence in my abilities to know what I'm saying, but not many people actually know my reference points so describing audio to strangers is really a shot in the dark for most. On the rare occasion that I recommend equipment that I have have not heard, I will preface the statement that I have only read or heard about it, or I am echoing the sentiments of a friend who's judement not only do I trust, but we in fact have shared experiences on similar gear so I know our reference points are the valid.
