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.

All my other phones (besides IEMs) are AKG, and I'm enjoying the sound signature of these a lot. The main difference apparent right away is how the Sennheisers seem to conduct sound through my head, there's more "thunk" than any of the AKGs (K501, K7XX, K553 pro). It's a less airy, but engaging presentation, and so far doesn't seem fatiguing at all. Easily driven by Schiit Magni 3, Topping A30, and Fiio X3 II, with roughly equivalent volume settings to the K7XX. Neither the clamping force or the headband contact point have been uncomfortable over the course of a few hours. I may order the stock 3m OEM cable, as the shorter cable is a bit restricting when I want to get up and move around my desk.
