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...

What I have that's travel worthy: Soundmagic E10BT - Bluetooth IEM's, 12hr battery, cut off at the freq. ends but midrange is magic & has that PRAT factor. My go-to when traveling light.
Blue Ever Blue 1200EX - IEM's, took forever to break in (60+hr), Very good bass & overall detail but a little hot on top. V-shaped response. These are probably my least favorite but slap a Bluewave GET on to them & it smooths out that hot treble turning them into magic! (The GET does the same for the 58X as well!)
Sennheiser HD 25 - On ear, original model. Wonderful midrange & soundstage but cut off at both frequency extremes with no a lot of bass detail. Bullet-proof! Power hungry.
Sennheiser HD1 - On ear with a very similar sound sig to the HD 25's but with better extension on both frequency ends. (On loan to niece)
JBL E55BT Quincy Edition - Bluetooth, Over ear. Decent passive noise reduction. A good solid pair of fun, every day headphones that do nothing terribly wrong. They are warm sounding with a tube-like quality. They do lack a bit in the area of detail retrieval though. Very efficient w/ high volume.
Sennheiser PXC 550 - Bluetooth, Over ear, Active NC. My favorite with excellent sound & high PRAT factor. Not a throw-around pair of headphones. They do fold & travel well in case though. Software app is pretty good.
B&O H7 - Bluetooth, Over ear (barely). Wonderful sounding headphones with a few minor quirks. Detail in the upper range is excellent but the midrange can sound a little recessed on some material. They're the best looking & best built of the bunch. Definitely not for throwing around! Noise isolation is lacking as is the software app.
I am seriously considering the German Maestro 8.35D as a good, bullet-proof, throw-around pair of travel headphones.
