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...

They're both mostly neutral headphones, but the HE-400Is are planar and have more "energy" to strings and have more impact in the percussion and details galore, but have recessed vocals. Some people have build quality problems with the HE-400I, but my pair and many others' are going fine. HE-400I uses a lot more metal and higher quality plastic and feels higher-end compared to the HD58X's plastic. The HD58Xs have a more lower mid focused sound signature, while the Hifimans are recessed in the vocals. The HD650/6XX seems to emphasize the upper mids, and the HD600s seem to emphasize the mids in general (but are more expensive even used, and come with a 10FT cable). The HE-400Is are also a lot airier and spacious sounding, while the Sennheisers are more narrow and intimate (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just person preference), and because of a lack of "air" the HE-400Is have, the Sennheisers sound slightly darker overall. They are both are easier to drive, but not necessarily easy. Some phones and devices might be able to power them, but you should definitely think about getting at least a cheaper DAC/amp combo like a FiiO Q1 if you want to go portable, or Schiit Fulla 2 if you want a desk setup.
