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 picked up the EB110 in-ears at a stellar price and enjoyed them quite a bit (still do in fact). A local Staples had ClarityOne's ECW1o2 headphones on clearance, so I decided to pick em up. How bad could they be for 30 CAD, especially when the EB110 is so good? Ho ho...
Weird? They sure are. The soundstage is monstrous and airy and they have this massive gap where the mid-bass should be. Treble floats around in this odd place between distant and forward. Mids are about the only normal part. The sub-bass though. That's where the mid-bass went. The two got together for one monster sub-bass jam and as a result these things seem to rumble for the sake of rumbling. The ECW1o2 is the epitome of feeling bass, not hearing it.
They offer a very visceral, unrealistic, off-putting experience that still somehow manages to be enjoyable, for me at least. I asked my cousin to give them a whirl. After one song he took them and off and gave me the best WTF look ever. What a terribly flawed, but still very interesting, pair of headphones.
