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...

Perhaps the Elex would be the better headphone on an entry to mid-level amp. The 6XX scales superbly with better amplification, and all my auditioning are on reference-level gear. I think if you've got an Elex already, don't buy the 6XX. If you've already got the 6XX, there's no need for an Elex. For me personally, I don't have any desire to buy an Elex, if I was to change headphones, it would be to something that was tonally more different.
Also, I highly doubt anyone will convince you the Elex is better than the Utopia. They're just not. Beyond sounding different they just don't have the same technicalities or capabilities. Still, for the dollar, the Elex really does punch above it's weight.
