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...

Listening to my first track. The Elex sounds amazing. Very dynamic presentation of rock guitar and drums.
Initial impressions (from literally only 5 songs): Product packaging is very luxerious. The retail box will serve very nicely for long term storage . Really nice build, with very atractive esthetics. The photos on Massdrop do not convey how attractive they are. The cables seem well made, but I can see upgrades for aftermarket cables some time in too distant future. On my head, they are hefty feeling., but are well balanced, not noticing any pressure spots on top or on my ears. The ear pads are really comfy. I wear glasses, I don't have or perceive pressure spots along the frame. There is plenty of bass, but no muddiness into the mids. Plenty of treble, but no piercing spikes. Vocals are very nice sounding. Neil Young sounds just right on this track. I might p-off the Sennheiser fan boys, but this HP is deffo a step up from the 6xx (which I also have). Stack is Win 10, Foobar, Gustard X12 DAC, Gustard H10 Amp.
Anticipating many long term listening sessions.
Edit: There is goodly amount of clamp. But not so much, that I would have to spread out the headphoine band for relief. No expectation for clamp related pain like some other HPs, (I'm ooking at you HD6xx)
There was a barcode on the outside of the box. There's a sticker under the right ear cup pad. There's a laser engraving under the right ear cup pad.
...sorry for your loss
I've paired the Elex with schiit magni 3 and modi 2 uber, and the aune x1 and x7s
