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...

Why would you even accept something with the name Lossy ? You dont even need to hear it.. they have told you up front ...
It's not like you add up the "goodness" of all of your equipment and sources, and that defines how good the overall sound quality is. It's more like subtracting all the "badness" of the equipment and sources, and what you're left with is the overall quality.
In some cases if one part of the chain is bad enough, it can mask other problems, but there's never a case where one part can be good enough that it makes up for another deficiency elsewhere.
So again, I am going from experience not theory of what makes sense logically. Logic can be thrown out the window with high end audio. (see: audiophile fuses)
I think you can add up the goodness because the starting point is always shit. Mp3, radio, etc. Every tikme I add a higher level piece my system sounds better. So the goodness absolutely adds up, Subtracting the badness means we start from where ? "perfect sound" whats that ? But I agree with you that you cant add something thats not there to begin with..
Cheers
