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...

quick review: very lightweight, very stylish. proprietary end of cable to connect into the L earcup, both cables are lime green, bumps does not noticeable detract from comfort.
sonic impressions: sound quality is amazing for the drop price of $149. great sound stage. a lot of clarity and detail. sound frequency pretty balanced. brighter pair of headphones compared to the hifiman HE-400. bass is present and tight during EDM songs (definitely not bass-heavy though). amazing vocals and very crisp treble. no sibilance noted. [I don't believe in burn-in, so this is fresh outta the box listening, paired with a Bravo V3 tube amp & SA UD110v2 dac]

picture doesn't seem to upload :( here's a link to all my Q701 photos :) http://www.head-fi.org/g/a/894421/q701/
Just wondering, are you still using the included 6922 tube, and do you find EQ-ing with the v3 helps at all with the sound? With my 770's (80 ohm) it takes a bit of EQ-ing to get the sound where I like it, considering trying some other tubes but the choices are a bit overwhelming.
Getting white as well, at first I was kicking myself for missing the blacks but seeing some pictures I've grown to like the whites more. We'll see Monday when they get here :D (Just got to the post office here in AZ so there's a chance they will deliver it tomorrow, fingers crossed!)
Are you going to use bass-mod? If you do, please let us know how it goes.
About uploading the picture, if you haven't suceeded, try try again.
Honestly, i've tried a bunch of different amps and dacs, and I really couldn't tell the difference between the equipment personally. I can tell the difference between headphones, but I usually just keep the ones I like un-EQed. Tried messing with the EQ back in the day, but it's more hassle for me than it's worth bc I have a bunch of different headphones and different sources.
