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...

This comment is very funny because this is exactly correct. These headphones are designed for very aggressive noise cancellation - and noise cancellation is not magic. There is a tradeoff with how much external noise can be reduced and how that impacts the sound.
There is a large market for this kind of aggressive NC and this is primarily what those headphones are targeted for.
Honestly though your expectations are not invalid, I think AT made a mistake marketing these as NC phones.
The main takeaway here is that the phones you mentioned are purpose built for the airplane or train scenario and comparing them to the MSR7NC is not to your benefit.
Again, perhaps this is just a product with an extremely niche market. Not to knock Audio Technica but personally without being able to hear them side by side I would stick to the regular MSR7. I think any set of closed cans should do well enough to isolate from some office noise. If these are identical to the regular MSR7 with the NC disabled then perhaps it is a slight value-add.
Shopping for audio gear without being able to audition them is tough.
Somthing built with the ability to suited airplane or train use doesn't mean it is the main purpose, and certainly doesn't mean MSR7NC is better in anyways.
This is not about the product or market, its when someone said he would rather buy something else, how they gonna reply as a representative. After i said that what he replied me is "bluetooth" "altitude" this kind of bs instead of how good their driver is compare to those 2. Don't get me wrong i got no problem with AT, just don't like the way he talks and treat me like a fool.
