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...

Notes: 1. Well recorded music is much more quiet in volume than "modern" more compressed tunes. The Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions" has to be turned a bit past 12 O'clock - it is missing a tiny bit of headroom with stock tubes so far 2. Many newer (compressed) songs have good volume at 7-10 O'clock for most songs on streaming (320kbs and Flac) 3. Turning up newer music past 12 O'clock does not get louder - just more distorted. 4. I would call this sound fairly neutral with some taming of upper treble - it smooths out some harsher recordings.
