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...

She really liked my HD558's, and my HD6XX's in terms of comfort/fit etc, but she is by no means an audiophile or cares much about audio quality. And, both of those phones are open - we're looking for over the ear headphones that are closed back and/or isolating. They do not need to be actively noise cancelling, but they should block ambient noise decently.
She will be driving these directly with her phone/tablet - so these need to have an 1/8" TRS plug, and, need to be sensitive enough, to not outright require an external amp, like my HD6XX's surely do.
Audio quality is not a top concern for her, - a lot of times they will be used for listening to things like Youtube blogs and cooking shows, not even music/movies etc. So I would like these to be relatively inexpensive, say $75 or less? That's what I got my for HD558's for and the sound quality /sensitivity/fit/finish on those was more than sufficient for her. In fact, I would have just given her my HD558's if they were closed and not open.
As she is a lady, and a girly one at that - bonus points if these are "pretty" or "girly" or at least available in girly colors like purple/pink/teal/green etc.
Folding/portability, is not a requirement but would be nice.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
