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...

The 4xx is brighter, but not piercing or anything. I like it more than the Fostex overall. I have it paired with a Geek Pulse hooked up to my PC. I played a little Forza Horizon 3 with then when I first got them, sounded wonderful. But I don't have much time for gaming, so I'm not really going to comment on their gaming prowess. I love them for all types of music. Could they reach a bit deeper for electronic stuff with a lot of sub-bass? Sure, but really, what can couldn't? To me, these have great quality bass that reaches quite low, but if you're a basshead looking to get your head pounded by those low frequencies, maybe look elsewhere. For the price, these are simply sublime, and I feel they punch far above their weight. I almost forgot to mention that I've changed the pads to angled Brainwavz hybrid pads with the perforated insides, and I added a ZMF pilot pad because I found the headband wasn't quite padded enough for my apparently sensitive skull after probably too many hours of wearing at a stretch.
I like both pairs, but be aware the 4xx is fully open, you get about as much sound emitted outside as you do into your ears. My wife always thinks I have them way too loud. Because of that, the soundstage feels quite large, where the T50 is more intimate.
Sorry for the rambling and incoherent nature of this. I just kept adding things as they came to mind!
Thanks for your input
