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'm afraid legit reviewers don't agree with you. I don't like the screeching, piercing, treble either, so I'm on the same side as Tyll's assessment.
In terms of technology, the TH900 is well ahead of the TH600 and its various derivatives. They have the same Fostex bio-cellular drivers, but the TH900 has much more power (1.5 v 1.0 Telsa) backing them, premium acoustic wood cups, OFC copper cable, etc. The quality control effort that goes into a very limited production flagship product like the TH900 (mine a double-digit serial number) is a different level compared to cheaper models.
Citing your ownership of the also screeching HE6 does nothing to sway my assessment, but rather points me to question whether your audio band has some holes, or mine (and Tyll's) has some sensitivities on some high frequencies. Both are equally possible. In the end though, I trust my ears to tell me what sounds right, not a price tag. For instance, I would rate the new Focal Elear well above multiple cans that sell for 2x-3x its asking price.
