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 mainly listen to electronic music. Here is an example of my favourite song right now [Genre: Future Funk](
). This is in no order of what Genres I like: [Deep House](
), [DanceHall](
), [Trap](
), [Electro Swing](
), [PsyTrance](
), Heavy Metal, Rap, Reggae, Older Rock (Like Jimi Hendrix), and sometimes Soundtrack music. Their might be more that I'm missing but that should give you a good Idea what I like.

I'm currently testing out the Sennheiser IE80 ($250 USD). I find the treble is muddy and the bass is nice and boomy. I have also tried the Noble 3 ($350 USD) and I prefer them over the IE80's because the sound is cleaner but still fun. Previous IEM: B&W C5 (fun and boomy), B&O C5 (Boring and Quiet), Ultimate Ears 900 (Boring and Analytical). I *think* I prefer the V shaped sound signature but I'm unsure. Would you recommend the regular CustomArt 8 or the 8 Pro?
To be honest I really can't afford to spend this much money but I willing to drop the money so this is a big decision.
How would shipping work to Canada?
Thanks!
Honestly I think you should wait 3days and jump on Ei.xx drop that's starts at 22nd. Harmony 8/8Pro is not something you seem to be looking for. Those IEMs don't have V-shaped sound signature. Think of H8Pro as ~Senn HD800 signature (neutral fast) and H8 as ~LCD-2 type of sound (darker, smoothed out). Ei.xx on the other hand is V-shaped, tuned for electronica, rap, and bass music in general at the same time it's rather well balanced.
You can find all reviews on head-fi.org
I am in the market for some new IEM's at the moment and came across your company and have to say I am mightily impressed with all of the reviews I have read, the Music Ones are current front runners in my selection. Do you happen to know what price point the Ei.xx will drop at as I would love to stretch to them.
Thanks
