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...

I personally have the Hifiboy OS V3 in Red?Blue and love them. No harsh simbilance, balanced signature with a little extra warmth in the bass. They EQ well also. I use them with a Hiby R3 DAP, FiiO X7Mkii DAP, Little Bear B4 hybrid tube amp w/ V5i-D Op Amp and a Topping NX4 DSD DAC/Amp. They have been killer with every thing I plug them into. I also had a set of silver 2-pin balanced cables on hand which made them sound even better, mainly clarity in the mids. Also I use the Comply SmartCore Foam tips in Medium which are super comfortable and a pretty good deal on Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075RDCZ4X/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If I were to get replacement for my HifiBoy OS V3's I would probably go with the BGVP DM6 IEMs, for a couple of reasons; from what I hear 2nd hand is that they have a very similar signature to the HifiBoy OS V3 but have a little more punch in the bass, very slightly better mids and the clear version looks absolutely incredible.
These are both pretty much the best IEMs produced in the $150-$200 range. They are both resin shells. The HifiBoy's are light and feel like almost nothing is in your ear. They also stay put in your ear. I have about 20 other sets of IEMs in the $40 - $200 range and the HifiBoy OS V3's have just plain stomped them all. It seems that lately with the advent of good hybrid IEMs and the industry getting better at tuning the BA drivers, single dynamic drivers are becoming no longer as good.
