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...

These used to be Focal's top-of-the-line-until-you-hit-the-really-big-stuff monitors. The next step up were the Solo6's and then the three-ways like the Twin6 and SM series. So these were pretty hardcore speakers (and were priced accordingly at about $800 per speaker). I can't speak to the Audioengine or the JBL's, but they certainly outperformed the KRK's and Yamahas in my experience, particularly in terms of "sweet spot" and midrange detail. They don't have a huge bass presence, so if you're mixing EDM you might need a sub, but their bass extension is pretty flat until it rolls off.
The reason these are dropped down to the $550ish mark is they've been discontinued, replaced by the Focal Shape series (which has a new tweeter and has passive radiators instead of ports for tighter time-domain bass response).
The CMS's are daaaaaamn fine monitors, though.
