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...

Comfort - Clamping pressure not too great, headband distributes weight evenly, light weight also preferred, but not required if headband designed properly. The only reason I'd wear a closed back over an IEM is that it's more comfortable wear or it sounds THAT much better, but the latter is rarer than I expected.
Efficiency - Probably using closed backs while out, so running from DAP or laptop without additional amp would preferable, or at most, needs something small like ifi nano BL
· What kind of strap/headband do you prefer? I've enjoyed the head band on Fostex's TH lineup, Audeze, Sennheiser 6xx, and Hifiman. Found the ATH-M40x, PSB m4u8, and Senn HD25 1 ii to clamp a bit too hard. One of my favorite headbands came from the ATH-r70x, now that I think about it...
· Are there particular brands you like? Specifically in the closed back market? Audio Technica (m40x), Fostex (THx00, th900)/ EMU Teak, and enjoyed the small amount of listening I did on the Aeon Flow Closed. The PSB M4U8's sound incredible, too, but I don't often need the convenience of a BT headphone. I've got the Audeze Mobius incoming, so we'll see how that goes. The 1More triple drivers are alright too, but the treble just sounds the tiniest bit artificial to my ears, probably because it comes from a different driver.
