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...

I personally really like the sound of these. They have good bass, and if you blast the headphones, you won't get ear-piercing highs. I don't know how else to describe the sound. They don't have much of a sound stage at all, if you really care that much about sound, but most people haven't even experienced what that sounds like.
I haven't had any issues with the build of the headphones. I wasn't babying them since they were only $40, but I have a new-found appreciation for them and have been taking special care of them (mostly where I store them). I use them daily and I travel around town a lot so they've been used a lot without issues.
They're currently outperforming my new LZ-A3S IEMs when plugged into my computer/phone. Those IEMs are $140 on massdrop, almost $200 on amazon... However, IEMs are supposed to be paired with a proper DAC &/or AMP &/or DAP to shine. But that means more money on top of the $140 DEAL to get them to beat a pair of $40 headphones...
For $40 CAD, I would recommend these if you want budget pair of great sounding in-ear headphones that you can use for several months to years without getting tired of them until you want an upgrade.
