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 I think it was just a different internet radio that the highs were less piercing and that maybe they arent diminishing as much as I thought at first its sure is odd on these how one source can be passable and another the highs are just so harsh i mean even now with them off I still have ringing in my ears..........
Edit: here is the comment about the Sol Republic cables not working and the HD497 mono ones working:

The reason for 2.5mm stereo jacks on the stock cable could be because they might be easier/cheaper to get. The fact that the connectors are stereo doesn't mean they are wired so inside (even though that's a very confusing /stupid move by HiFiMAN).
