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.

I have had all 3 and FWIW I like the CEntrance one best... others might disagree...
ps: When it comes to this kind of stuff, people *always* disagree... no matter what you wanna get, somebody will tell you to do something else.... so, get used to it ;-)
pps: Also... don't get too hung up on trying to make the absolute best decision... for things like this, there are lots of different good decisions... it's not like every choice boils down to a right decision vs a wrong decision... often, it boils down to which one of a few different right decisions do you wanna make...
