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 still own a pair of HD 565 Ovations. I've had them for over 20 years & just recently had them refurbished with a new headband & earpads. When I purchased them, the HD 580's as well as the newly introduced HD 600's were also available. My thoughts at the time were that the HD 580's didn't offer any significant improvement & the HD 600's, while better, didn't warrant the price increase. All three were definitely in the same family, sound-wise. With the lower impedance & improvements described, these just might be the best bang for your buck!
But if these are close to either, they are a bargain.
To this day, I still supremely enjoy the sound of my 565's. I also have an original pair of HD 25's that I've similarly refurbished that also sound wonderful & are still in use. I'm the original owner of both. In fact, now that I think about it, the HD 25's would be ideal candidates for a Massdrop update! Offer them with a 4-6' cable with inline mic/controls & you'd have something truly portable & special! I bought an aftermarket inline cable for mine (4') & I swear to you that the shorter run improved the sound. FTR, the HD 25's are still considered an industry standard for studio & DJ use.
