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...

Based on the speakers you're showing you mentioned, you're looking at multimedia speakers, so I presume you want them to sit on a desk. Based on my assumptions I'd point you to JBL LSR305 with an additional sub since they don't do much below 40Hz. There's a 2 pack of them on Amazon for $272 right now. It's something of a tricky set to deal with since the inputs are not RCA or 3.5mm that most people are ready to handle. These are a bit more of a pro speaker and sound like it.
Another great option would be the Audio Engine A5+. These might be a bit out of your price range by the time you add the sub, but have all the "normal" input options. They are typically around $400 though. Maybe you could get a good black friday deal on them though.
The sad fact of multimedia speakers is that they all need a sub, and the good ones don't come with one. At least not the good ones that I know of. Maybe someone else has some better suggestions for you.
The A5s are more like the ATH-M50X of the powered monitor world. They are certainly not the best and in some people's opinions don't live up to the hype. I'd take the JBLs over them personally, but the A5s are much easier to work with with everyday consumer equipment while still being a good recommendation.
On a last note, what do you think about the Edifier R2000DB? The bluetooth is not the reason why I'm asking about these; it was recommended by a friend who's not that very experienced in this field.
I don't have any experience with the Edifiers but I loath bluetooth. I have never had an audio system be it headphones or otherwise that uses it that I would call good. I'm not going to claim that it's impossible, but I try to stay away from it. Your results may vary.
