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...

T1 SN<3-4K ishk (bright and horrible) T1 SN > 4 K but < 23 K (there may have been revisions in-between, but hard to tell exactly. I believe it was revised perhaps once more in this range). 20K + is "late run T1". T1 SN > 23K is the very rare, T1 Gen1 v2, with parts of the T1V2 built into the Gen 1 chassis.
Late run t1 has reduced treble (compared to the first iteration), bumped bass, and given a well-matched amp, simply excellent. T1 Gen 2 is also very good, with different packaging, slightly fixed, but also reduced build quality (no more leather, but detachable cable and better sliders). Soundwise it's a tad below the late run, but it's not far off.
Amiron I've not tried. T90 is horrible by all accounts. 1990 is good but the FR is a lot less clean than T1. Looks rather strange tbh - fortunately doesn't sound as strange as it looks.
Any who, I prefer the original Beyer products to the AK versions almost universally. AK T1 is fine but just get the original and a tube amp if you're looking to do what the AK T1 does tbh.
