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...

My only hesitation is, of course, the measurements from Purrin. I don't understand how it measures worse than a cheaper Schiit Modi/Magni combo. But then again, these are just measurements, which don't always tell the whole story. In my past experience, my subjective liking of something has almost always trumped feature sets or data or spec sheets (I purchased a Canon G7x over the Sony RX100M3, for example, because I love Canon jpeg colors, and I couldn't be happier).
What I do know for sure, though, is that it isn't going to be a $500 piece of ****. Because basically every review for this so far has been positive, even though it hasn't been "OMG THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING PIECE OF EQUIPMENT EVER". And has anything ever lived up to that hype in the history of the world? Seriously... Whatever product that gets hyped on the internet (products with thousands of ratings averaging 4.5 stars on Amazon, for example) rarely lives up to the hype. So I'm fairly certain even if there are products out there with much more hype, this won't be that much far behind. Still have a couple of days to think about it, though...
