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...

Throw in better ergonomics, a better (and replaceable) cable, as well as the filtering system and accessories, and you get a more resolving IEM that has a better soundstage and much better low-end response. The 846 also scales better with nicer equipment and a balanced cable which pushes its sound quality even further north. Even looking at their FR, the Shure (Black - https://www.innerfidelity.com/images/ShureSE846BlackFilterSampleB.pdf and White - https://www.innerfidelity.com/images/ShureSE846WhiteFilterSample2.pdf)is substantially smoother and more controlled than the Quad (https://www.rtings.com/headphones/1-2/graph#469/2031) which has dips and spikes and is somewhat all over the place. For the cost, there are better options than the Quad. Compared to more expensive units and the gap is much larger than "diminishing returns." The difference is night-and-day.
Mind you, this is my opinion but unless you're comparing the Shure 846 to something like the Noble k10 you can't really claim diminishing returns.
Always try to listen to headphones before purchase, because how much you will like them will depend on your ears and your taste. Sound is extremely subjective.
Thanks for the insight… ◔_◔
