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...

Maybe if we had some reference point for what you found objectionable most often we could figure out a baseline set of vocabulary.
Those that don't are either poorly controlled, or have no high end.
Cases of the second variety: Shure SE 315, has no high end, but at least is fluid and smooth. MEE A151P is a little too grainy and unrefined across the audio band. UE 600 is similar to A151. UE 700 is screechy and sharp. The bass is reasonable on these, but they all fail to meet my demands for highs if nothing else.
Cases of too much bass: Shure SE 215, which also doesn't have a high end and generally just sounds bad. Ultimate Ears UE500, which is slightly better controlled than the Shures, but is even softer and has even more exaggerated bass. And many many others.
All dated examples, I know, but I've basically given up the hunt for a few years and have wanted to get back to it in a more informed manner.
