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...

My early days in headfi saw me "invest" money into two sets of $200 headphones. With these, I power traded through a LOT of headphones. At least that's what I tell myself. In truth, I was not-so-secretly adding more and more money into the hobby. After a couple years, Pokémon syndrome had taken over and I was a full fledged collector/hoarder.
I managed to pull off a big downsizing and after some crap in my life took a plunge on a used HE-6. Surely stepping up into the big leagues would slow me down! Nope, because now I was buying bigger gear and still using the asset/equity excuse to justify it. I had built up my rig to usb filter, dac, pre, monoblocks, HE-6... and it was getting ridiculous.
So I've managed to downsize again, but I've been busy in one of my other hobbies setting up PA systems for local dance events that have been growing. I started off with some modest powered speakers years ago, but now I'm up to 4000W, 600 lb rig that takes two cars to transport. It would be so much easier to rent what I need, but nah all this stuff I'm buying is an investment.
I need help =P
