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 headphones really need tip rolling to find the ones you like best. For me, these iems with the stock tips has quite hot treble. This still happened with the modded to fit spiral dots, Westone silicone and the Spinfits. All of them to me were not listenable for any modern(ish) rock music.
All of the foam tips brought a better balance to the bass and treble. I liked them all. I definitely used a larger size than I expected. Definitely don't assume your size, try many. Comply was best, shure second, westone third.
The most surprising to me was the shure silicone. These are what came with my shure se215 blue spe (which i use spinfits on). The diameter of the sound opening on this ear tip is the smallest of the bunch. I bet it matches how the foam tips fit in my ear in terms of the diameter of the sound opening. I really like these as well. The benefit to me is not having to deal with how long it takes to put foam tips in and out of the ear.
I need to do more listening with the shure silicone and the foam to find my favorite for sound quality/balance. I am sure glad i did this because even with it's extraordinary midrange, I was really not liking the overall sound out of the box.
