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...

- Beyerdynamic DT PRO 770 250 ohms
- Beyerdynamic DT PREMIUM 880 600 ohms
- Koss Porta Pro
- Massdrop x Fostex TR-X00 Ebony
What do I look for in a closed back headphone (in descending order of importance):- Sound quality (comparable with other models way more expensive than itself)
- Favorable reviews
- Sound stage
- Comfort
- Clarity, flat response
- Isolation
- Portability
What kind of strap/headband do you prefer? Linus Tech Tips said it as much, there's no dispute that Beyerdynamic makes the best headphone band padding with the DT PRO series. All the other headphone manufacturers should just stop trying to come up with their own thing or distinguish themselves and just do whatever Beyerdynamic did with that series. I bought the ZMF headband pad for my TR-X00 and while comfy, was too slippery. My Beyer DT headphones are still the most comfortable headbands I've worn. And I've tried the Sennheiser HE-1 before, mind you. Are there particular brands you like? I've only tried the HiFiMan HE350, Sennheiser HD series (600, 650, 800, 800s, HE-1), Fostex TH-X00 Mahogany, TR-X00 Ebony, and the Beyerdynamic DT 770, and 880, so my breadth of knowledge is not great. Outside of the unaffordable HE-1, the 880 still sounds the best for me. The bass on the Sennheiser HD series is too weak for my liking (outside of the 800s and the HE-1), as much as I'd love for my Beyers to have the warmth and detail of the Sennheiser mids. As for closed-back sound, the Fostex TR-X00 is my endgame and I love the sound. It was down to it or the DT1770 PRO (because I bought the TH-X00 Mahogany for my brother as a gift and was impressed with the sound), and I only picked Fostex because I already own a pair of Beyers and wanted to have something different, and I'm not sure how big of an improvement the 1770 has over the 770 in terms of sound stage and sound quality (I never realized how sibilant the treble and how muddy the bass are on the 770 until I got the 880)
