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.

At work, I have to use IEMs or closed-back headphones so that I don't disturb my co-workers. I usually use closed-back over-ear headphones because they are 1) visible, so people know that I can't hear them if the walk up to talk to me, 2) easier to put on / take off when necessary, and 3) generally more comfortable for me to wear for hours vs. IEMs, though I can imagine that is a personal preference. At work, I usually listen to Fostex TH-X00 headphones.
On airplanes, buses, or whatever, including when I walk to a cafe for lunch during my workday, I usually use IEMs because they are easier to bring with me. I have a bunch of IEMs scattered around in different places. The ones I use most often are Final Audio Design Heaven II, LH Labs Vibrato, JH Audio JH-13 Pro, and Zero Audio Carbo Tenore and Basso.
Whatever your requirements, there are headphones (and amps, if you want an amp) to meet your needs. Personally, I enjoy trying different headphones and related gear.
