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...

No change (or I can't hear it) in soundstage (well done). Maybe a little more detailed now, but this may be also sideeffect of better highs extension. I'm to lazy right now to do proper critical A/B listening, just a short session with set of my test tracks as there is no reason to go back to velour stock pads.
Good buy though, would be even better if the price was lower (I got the sheepskin ones).
My setup for standard jacks is Foobar PC->Chord Silver Plus USB->Singxer SU-1->Wireworld Chroma to I2S->Gustard X20Pro->QED Pro RCA->SMSL SAP II Pro. The first part is common with set for my Stax Sr-007 and Sr-009 rig so yes, it is an overkill for K7XX :D
One more thing: a really nice box with magnet lock ;)
Sorry, one more: be careful when mounting tchem for the first time: the locks are brand new and it requires a bit of force to get them so watch for the skin, try not to damage it!
