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...

Note, however, that this adapter has green and blue female connectors. I plug the greens together, and that leaves the blue one to connect to the red from the headset. Not a big thing, but important to note the color difference. There may be adapters that are the correct colors.
I can't give a link to the adapter I bought for my computer because it now incorrectly shows a different product on my orders page from a year ago, probably because the vendor re-used the product ID for something else. What is important is that it is a gaming headset adapter with four contacts (i.e., the tip plus three rings) on the single plug that goes to the laptop. That is for the stereo headset plus a microphone connection. The one I have has female connectors colored red and green on one end of the adapter that I simply plug the red and green plugs into, and that reduces it to a single plug that works perfectly on my HP computer.
