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.

I was used to the "portable cassette player/record your favorite radio song tapes" scene and had convinced my parents to buy me a switch up for Christmas. At first I didn't notice the difference, but hey, it was the future and I was cool enough to have one. One day I figured out that I could plug in my headphones all the way. That was the moment! I had been cross connecting both sides on the stereo output and getting some muffled horrible mono experience because there was a gasket of some sort around the 3.5mm connector that made plugging in the headphones hard.
