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.

There are some relatively notorious misheard lyrics out there. One of several infamous Hendrix examples:
All Along the Watchtower - "Businessmen, they drink my wine, Plowmen dig my earth" often heard as "Businessman there, drink my wine, come and take my herb" (Hey, it's Hendrix, I totally get the assumption here)
I was listening to a playlist today that had the Kinks "Come Dancing" in it. I've always heard this line - "The day they knocked down the pally, part of my childhood died, just died" as "the day they knocked down the pally, one of her children died, just died". I laughed because In the context of the song, the misheard lyrics kind of, sort of, make sense, but are really harsh, given the melancholy but playful tone of the song.
I've had this experience regularly over the past couple years as I've gotten better gear. Aside from the fun of realizing I've heard something completely wrong for years, it's a great example of the difference good gear can make. I'm curious if others have shared this experience and what some of your favorite examples are.
