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...

These are far better than any other "gaming" headset out there especially when the model they are doing the drop for (PC373D) MSRP for $300. This is a no brainer for somone who wants generally good audio and soundstage for casual caming. Nothing wrong with that at all. Still Better than those "gaming" brands RAZER, Logitech, Steel series, Astro etc.....
Some people just want a good, sounding headset and with all this marketing propaganda. at least Sennheiser is doing it right at a price that isnt gouging customers (with this drop).
Instead of waiting for the drop, I recommend doing a research on head-fi, check out the trading forums and get double the value for half the price. Under $100 you can get insane stuff like Philips SHP9500S, Superlux 668, Status OB-1, second-hand Beyerdynamics DT770 80 Ohm or Sennheiser 598 and more. Just don't buy Audio Technica ATH-M50x or M50. That's the worst headphones for gaming you can get. At least if you want to keep gaming fun.
I am personally gaming in Fostex X00s with ModMic 5.0 just for the fun factor. They don't have any soundstage, but the bass. Battlefield 1 don't get any more immersive than with these :)
