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.

Sound stage/imaging is not really a thing in most modern music. Given how digitally produced everything is that us young'ns (I'm not sure that I could be considered young, but I digress) listen to compression is part of the music and there is no real sense of space in any of it to appreciate with free standing speakers.

Setting your music loud enough to feel the visceral impact of the sound waves on your body results in your neighbors pounding on the wall/ceiling/floor and calling the cops on you. That's not to mention what would happen if you tried to get away with it in your office which is where we're spending the vast majority of our waking hours these days. That's the second of the 2 major benefits out the window.
