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...

It's hard to describe, but it basically rounded out the sound in ways I didn't know the headphones could deliver on, even though the X6 was "plenty powerful enough" to drive my HiFiMan HE4XX. The bottom end is smoother as it transitions into the upper bass and mids, and the top end now has a crystalline quality I hadn't heard yet (from the tube?) The top end is getting smoother as it burns in-- it really was a bit much at first, but now it is right in line and the edge has diminished.
Before I bought this, I was going to try swapping pads to get the sound I wanted, but now I don't need to. All my music is now worth a re-listen.
Also, may I say it's a sexy piece of equipment that looks good on my desk.
