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...

you may have to expand your budget. yes. just a tad.
Question; what do you listen to? Knowing your listening tastes helps us give you good focussed recommendations. :)
That being said, they are designed around exactly the type of music that you prefer. I'm a Classical, Jazz, and Electronica,(like Klaus Schultze, Jonn Serrie, Steve Roach), guy with specific Rock tastes,(like Foo Fighters, classic Santana, Neil Young), where I like detail and separation. Separation is tricky with IEMs, you'll spend bajillions to get IEMs that give you a sense of that. So I go with full-sized headphones mostly.
For IEMs at decent prices, that will elevate your experience,(IMO), try the MEE Audio line, which are quite well made and offer several different sound signatures. I am sure one of these will meet your desires. I have a couple sets of the P1 Pinnacle and they are VERY nice for multiple music genres, even screaming Nirvana. You might give those a whirl. Inside your budget, the P2 would suit- it's modeled on the P1 but constructed a bit less expensively than the P1, and worth the money at 100 bux less. MEE does a nice job of customer support too, they, (in my experience with them for the past 12 years, shortly after they established), back up their products. I think this might be your best bet....you get a nice sounding set of Audiophile grade IEMs at an entry level price.

You will be quite pleased with the NuForce sound. Yes, I agree, it would be a good match for your prefs.
p.s. I applaud you asking good questions. I think people just getting started in a passion that can become very expensive should be more into asking questions and "listening" to experienced members of a community. Free advice is a great thing when you may be turning your wallet inside out one day......
cheers!
