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.

I just ordered this balanced cable for my new (received early Oct 18) HE-4XX with the dual 3.5mms. I have no idea of the quality but it seems like it'll be decent enough. I also have an aftermarket balanced cable for my HD58X, not this brand, but it has the uncovered wire and it sounds fine, can hear the improvement over SE. I like the uncovered wire as it has very little mass and kind of disappears when I'm wearing it. Hope this cable will behave similarly. And the price is right for me. I've also got the FiiO BL35 3.5mm Male to 2.5mm Female balanced adapter cable, so if this new cable works out I can just pop it on the end of the new cable and won't have to switch cables when I go to a 3.5mm SE source. That has been working well so far with my 58X balanced cable. Here's a link to the 4-XX balanced cable I just bought:
