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 wrote up a word document, too. In that word document, I explained it a bit more... Anyways, I put it up in a mega.nz link. I encrypted it so it doesn't get taken down as quickly. But yeah.

Here's a link for vocals and classical music on different bit/sample rates. Keep in mind that the file sizes can get stupidly large- a perfect example is Mozart: Violent Concerto in D major, which is 9 minutes and 24 seconds long at a whopping 1.4GB in file size. http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html I suggest you play around here, there's a lot to hear :)
Edit: Forgot to mention that there are "better" file types than even FLAC. DSD is fairly popular ranging from DSD 65 @ 2.8224Mbit/s to DSD 256 @ 11.2896Mbit/s. Most FLAC files are 24BITS/second. For reference, there are 2959501 bits in 2.8224 Megabits & 11838004 bits in 11.2896 Megabits. The point is that you've really reached the point of diminishing value and it's not worth your bandwidth/storage/time to strictly use these files since the truth is that we're only human & can't tell enough of a difference between the two in blind-tests. Not only can you not hear that difference enough of the time to make it worth it, but finding music in that file format is next to impossible. Stick to FLAC/MP3 on your main rig and MP3 spotify if you're away from your computer. :) I know this is a lot of information and most of the details I've presented don't really matter, but I hope you get the point. DSD/DXD >= FLAC > MP3. DSD/DXD is used in multi-million dollar budget movies FLAC is almost just as good, smaller, and put on CDs MP3 is a super compressed version of FLAC used for portability and very small size.
There is also another popular file format called .wav but I don't have enough knowledge on that format & I don't want to lead you astray.
Thanks!
