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...

Yeah these are too resolving for low bitrate... mp3,aac,ac3,ogg most compressed lossy formats.... flac or better these get way more clear and smooth dsd even better especially out of BugHead Emperor. Yeah these are like entry level audiophile high source and gear requirements but low potential to soar the more power you put into them kind of putting them in a funny usage window. Too high for everyday listening and low bitrate and internet radio but more limited than other pricier audiophile headphones for flac or dsd pull em out god sessions as you probably already have something better. Most probably got these as a window into what Hifiman sound sig is tho and I guess they do fulfill the prime objective if you had better Hifimans already you probably wouldnt get these unless for a kid or as a gift for someone just getting into or trying to inspire into Hifi.
Whoever delivered my package abused the hell out of it; got to me all smashed up, corner of the actual box inside is dinged and crumpled. Really looked like they kicked this package around tho the headphones inside seem to be fine.
Haven't received the he-350 yet, however, I'm kinda afraid of the 19ohms they advertise, my lowest hdp are 40ohms and they have the above struggles with my amp.
