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...

Headphones- If you can do a Sennheiser upgrade, you should probably go for it. They make excellent all-rounders and carry enough bass to make a nice choice for your preferred listening choices. You are already aware of something of the Sennheiser sound, an upgrade in the line will only be a better version of that. If you stick with lower impedance phones, you wont immediately need an amp to drive them.... save up for an amp that will then only make your purchase sound better. I don't know if you can participate in the ebay market, but consider doing that and looking at lightly used gear, which may extend the range of your purchase options. Used gear at a lower price is also a pretty decent way to try something without having to pay a premium price for new. Just vet the item carefully and ask questions before buying anything. The other suggestion I might have for you, since you are off to college might be a closed-back headphone like the Beyerdynamic DT 770. Good for use in a dorm or in public spaces. They sound very very excellent.
Then, when you graduate college and get rich and all..... you can do anything you want for headphones. :-)
Wish we had a private message thing in here. I'd ask for your addy and then ship you a set of my headphones, since I have more than I need. It would be like a donation to your college future.
