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.

- Starting from the headphones:
6XX Plugged into Schiit Magni 3 --> Magni 3 being powered by cable given through outlet. --> RCA Cables I found tucked away in an audio card box (that I don't use, not mine) are plugged in from the Magni 3 to the computer's front jack. (RCA to headphone jack cable whatever it's called) --> [No external DAC being used] --> Computer playing music from soundcloud and/or YouTube. 3. Since I don't have a DAC nor do I have any custom audio card, I use the one integrated into motherboard - Realtek High Definition Audio (which I guess is still an audio card but you know what I mean) 4. Unfortunately, I don't have a 2-Male to 2-Male RCA Cable, my RCA cable that I'm using atm is a 2-Male (plugged into the Magni IN), to a headphone aux in which I plug into my computer. So I just used a 3.5mm to 2-Male RCA Adapter (which I was using for my computer).
