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 find GUTB's reply to your question absurdly elitist. Sure, you might get to those higher priced models in time but build towards them using cheaper cans with better value for money. You'll find if you research that there are some key milestones along the way: Grado SR80es, for example, are a decent entry point (though technically on-ear not over-ear) then pick one from the Sennheiser or AKG lines for an increase in fidelity and transparency. You'll never have to stuff your old set in the cupboard ... it will always stay relevant just as long as you pick carefully each time you upgrade. You can have a stellar range of headphones at home for the price of one esoteric set. (Which is not to knock the high end headphones at all.)
Finally, don't neglect comfort and build quality when picking ... the headphones you enjoy wearing are more valuable to you than the ones that sound best because they're the ones you'll use most.
