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 recently picked up a second TH-X00 PH used for $260, which I put the E-MU Palo Santo cups from the recent Massdrop deal on and ZMF Ori suede pads with custom inserts. Not as punchy or hard hitting as my PH pair with the stock Purpleheart cups and Jmoney V3 leather pads, but still WAY beyond the HD6XX in low end with beautiful mids and highs I like better than the 6XX, just as detailed and clear yet more full and dynamic sounding (Foster Biodyna drivers are absolutely lovely to listen to...) Plus you would have one very nicely constructed plastic headphone in the HD6XX, and one with more exotic higher end construction void of plastic (TH-X00 magnesium/aluminum alloy is lighter than most plastics).
Such a modded TH-X00 is a great all around phone, bass tilted somewhat, but with well above average detail and clarity for closed/semi closed phones which works well with pretty much any type music, including classical. Actually fairly open sounding. They sound great from most any source as well, whether straight off a phone/ tablet or connected to a dedicated desktop setup. Seem to absolutely love a high powered Class A amp setup that is warm leaning though - spectacularly rich and detailed experience from it with PHENOMINAL BASS, especiall the detail and finesse in the sub-bass. Would be a great compliment to an HD6XX series. I'm in on the HD58X drop because there's some minor things about the HD6XX I wish changed, which the HD58X seems to have done based on all the reviews of the preproduction units.
