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've thoroughly enjoyed the SE846, but not without doing a few things: 1. removing the dampening foam from the blue filter for white filter-like highs, without removing too much bass. 2. typically EQing them by cranking up bass in the 10-120 Hz range a few dB, and the highs as well.
I really enjoy a V shaped sound signature and listen to EDM & Trance music 90% of the time. The SE846 have been great to me, and sound phenomenal when I EQ them... but with a flat EQ, I don't enjoy them as much. The quality of the bass is phenomenal though, and overall I love the detail and soundstage for an IEM.
I also own HD800S and prefer them over listening with my SE846, except the SE846 do produce better sounding (more subwoofer-like) bass, in my opinion.
If I could get HD800S levels of detail & treble out of the K10U, that might be enough to persuade me to sell my SE846 and pick these up instead. Would hate to jump into this blindly though, so any insight is appreciated!
