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...

I was hoping the Elex wouldn't disappoint and I am glad to find out it has not. I have been listening to them for about 10 hours and so far I have no complaints, which is ultra rare for me. I like the fact that the HD600 have a bit more midrange presence than the Elex, but they aren't as refined, balanced, resolving, and boast a soundstage as wide as the Elex. When I consider the tradeoffs, I think the Elex are definitely a worthy upgrade. They aren't an upgrade to the HD650 because they are slightly different. For me, my trinity of headphones will be as follows, the Oppo PM-3 when I need a closed back headhone, the HD650 for when I went smooth mids and a lower price ultra versatile headphone, and the Elex for fuller, more refined sound. I drive all my headphones with an Audeze Deckard, which is an outstanding amp, especially for the $350 refurb price I got it for.
Anyway, this is a long way of saying, that the Elex is a superb headphone and combines the best parts of a DT1990 with the non fatiguing nature of the HD600. That's a killer combination.
