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 did a preliminary search and found a few brief mentions, but would like to start a thread (or someone can point me to where there is another and I'll kill this one) for exercise-ready IEMs of good quality.
I'm an OTE full-size cans kinda guy at home. I struggle with IEMs that fit me well, and feel like I don't want to spend a ton else I get back to using OTE cans.
But I can't see being able to move freely/running with cans (even BT ones) at the gym. Maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway...question is, what is your favorite +/- $100 IEM (wired or wireless) that would stand up to gym use over a long-ish (couple years) period with proper care?
I've found plenty of clickbait "best of" gym headphone lists out there, but I'd prefer the trust of an audiophile community over good writers that aren't SMEs.
I've been using some cheap-o wired Panasonics from Amazon that hook in pretty well and I can beat on, but would prefer slightly better SQ if possible.
TIA for any recommends!
