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...

Mine are out for delivery today. I'll post my thoughts here after trying them.
I noticed a huge improvement (in bass and overall) by pushing them further into my ear canal than I'm accustomed to, and wearing them with the wires going up over-ear.
Still, I'm hoping a little burn-in brings out some more punch, and overall clarity. Either that or the sound signature just grows on me ;)
EDIT: After playing music through them for 8+ hours, the bass sounds a little bit better. I think I'm just getting used to the sound signature of these too. What's more disconcerting is that they don't seem to work in the headphone port of my HP Probook 6570b unless I'm using an extender.
The vocals are muted unless I pull the plug out of the jack about 1/16 of an inch. I've tried the headphones on my old Dell laptop, my iPod, an iPod shuffle, and a Fiio E11 and the headphones work fine in all of those headphone ports except my work laptop. :P It's probably a funny jack on my laptop.
