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...

At office: I have a few. Noise cancelling one(Audio Technica ANC7b) when I want to focus. no music played. But I also have some closed(Monoprice m1060c) or semi-closed(Fostex TH-X00 Ebony or Fostex T-X0) depending on the situation.
Commute: Shure SE846 or Westone UMPro 50 or Sennheiser IE80 or Sennheiser 598C.
At home: Sennheiser HD6xx. Sony bluetooth
Vacation: Cheap ones that I wouldnt mind too much if I lost them. KZ-ZS5 or ZS6 (with VE Monk cables) Audio Technica IM70 Xiaomi USB-C noise cancelling Monk plus
Then the rest are for curiosity which I rarely use.
My recommendation is that you try to gauge what would be the biggest budget you could save up and aim for TOTL iems (no custom in ears). They usually serve all purpose very well and you dont have to upgrade any time soon.
IEM can be used everywhere so that is pretty good unlike the headphones.
I went through lots of IEMs and still ended up buying shure se846. If I bought it from the beginning I might have saved all the money spent on other iems.
