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...

1. Beyerdynamic makes four DT990 models: DT990 premium (32, 250, and 600 ohm variants) DT990 Pro (250 variant only) DT990 Pro All Black (250 ohm variant only) DT990 Premium Manufaktur (32, 250, and 600 ohm variants). Technically the same as the DT990 premium just with custom colors and parts. All audio specs are the same.
2. The DT9900 premium is selling on the big online marketplace in 250, and 600 ohm for $249 right now. The Manufaktur versions are typically only available for special order directly through Beyerdynamic or someone that partners with Beyer like Massdrop. These are more expensive than the normal premium models as they are customized by hand in Brooklyn by Beyerdynamic.
3. The Pro model is the one everyone is referencing as being $130~ which is correct and is specifically for monitoring and studio applications (not to say you can't use it for anything if that is the sound you like). This however is the cheaper Beyer model and a completely different model than the one Massdrop is selling here.
I have included images below of the four different models so you can see the visual difference. Please just note all these differences when price shopping.
Hopefully that helps clarify as I was a bit confused with all the variants at first as well.
Last time I checked, the "street" prices for the 250 and 600 ohm premium models from an authorized dealer (important if you want a warranty) was over $200, not ~$150 (that's the 32 ohm version). It does, however, fluctuate a lot throughout the year. The all-black Premium version, however, is always well over $200 because AFAIK the only place you can ever get them is direct from Beyer. The $399 MSRP quoted for this drop is BS, however (sorry Massdrop). I can buy the custome Manufaktur model direct from Beyer for less than $300 last time I checked.
Is there a big enough difference between the 3 to warranty buying a 250 or 600 at this point?
