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...

The only positive thing i can say right now is the isolation is the best out of any IEM I've ever had (a short list to be fair), but I've got 2 fans on high in my room and I can barely hear them even if I try. They're supremely comfortable to wear, as well, and are a good contender for being something I can sleep with in my ears. The MMCX connectors are tight without being difficult to remove, and each earbud has a nice weight to it. The cable that comes pre-installed also has a nice feeling to it as well
I'm going to give them a few days, maybe even try to burn them in, but I'm going to have to do quite a bit of EQ before i can use these over the FiiO F9s. I'm hoping something changes.
Edit: The bluetooth cable that comes with it is very nice too. I took another few hours and played around with the EQ and a few spare MMCX cables I have lying around, and I've got them to where I can hear the amount of sparkle I was desperately missing. Had some good results with the other cables, including a balanced cable from the F9s. Definitely glad I could salvage these. The Bluetooth cable is very convenient and easy to charge and pair, so I'm looking forward to using it in the future (probably all the time).
Edit: I'm 2 months in and after giving them more time, i can say they are actually very good. Once i realized i was missing the dynamic bass from my other iems, and stopped looking for it, they're good. I can definitely appreciate the detail. I don't I'd buy them again if something happened, though, as the $150-250 price point has been getting some fantastic additions recently.
