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...

Finding the right fitting ear tips also helps. I've found that both the M-Duo and A151p fit and sound best for me using the included bi-flange tips. It's a bit surprising how much the sound quality changes going from the pre-installed single flange to the bi-flange. I encourage you guys to experiment a little.
So, I ended up back at the medium single flange, but I used the guide here: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/ultimate-headphone-guide-articles-how-insert-ear-monitors#TFYeEuPBCAD4u9pu.97
Inserting them this way (by pulling back my ear), I ended up with a much better seal and the sound improved greatly. What was so odd, the other tips seemed to seal since I could feel the pressure in my ear when I'd move my jaw or yawn, but it must not have been a complete seal. With the better seal, the bass is definitely more noticeable, and the IEMs sound much more balanced. The bass still doesn't have a ton of kick, but it sounds good.
Overall, a keeper. I'm glad I joined the drop. The A151P 2G are my first balanced armature IEMs, and it's nice to hear a variety of IEM designs.
TL;DR, definitely try all the ear tips and try the IEM insertion instructions provided by Tyll.
