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.

Audio equipment is engineering at its core, its not some mystical arts hence to suggest that keeping an equipment on 24/7 results in "smoother sound" is equivalent to saying that a computer runs faster and "smoother" if kept on 24/7 and to achieve best performance, users gotta let their computer's circuitry "burn-in" first. There are plenty of pseudo-science crap going around in audio communities and it is important to not take everything as gospel.
