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...

Apart from the fact that there's quite a bit of clamping force at the moment (which I expect will loosen in due time), this is my only real complaint about the headphones. I'm switching from Beyerdynamic DT 880's, and the difference is very noticeable, particularly in the balancing of the high end (which is done far better on the 6XX's). Quite surprisingly, I had EQ'd my DT 880's very near to the response of the 650's. Not sure why some people feel that the tone is "veiled"; there's plenty of sparkle and treble detail to my ears. Comfort-wise, after a bit of break-in, I feel that the 6XX's will also excel. I'm already preferring the oval shape of the driver housings (my terminology is admittedly a bit rough) to the circular housings of the DT 880's.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased that I could get such audio perfection for $200, and I'm even more pleased that I could offer a solution to friends thinking about buying Beats. ;)
