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...

I presonally prefer warmer sound, and the Red sounds quite good to me. According to most reviews of the Black it produces a more "clinical/darker" sound than the Red and Blue, therefore I am not sure about upgrading to the Black but also not really sure if the Blue is that much of an upgrade, so I would like to get some opinions here.
Has somebody tried the Black/Blue and can give his/her opion? (also if you have other cartridges that you tried and recommend I'll be happy to hear about it).
Thanks!
A weird thing I noticed is that there is a discount when you add cartridges to your cart on the website the Bronze is only 26$ more than MD on their site with shipping, the Black is 161$ more than MD, the Blue is 58$ more than MD and the red is 44$ more than MD.
When you only buy the just the stylus of the Blue, the anniversary edition is just 162$ and the non-anniversary edition is 181$
I'm not really sure which is better, when taking into consideration that my turntable is not that High-End (the AT-LP120), but still its a solid one, and also taking into consideration if it's worth upgrading the phono amp from the built-in which is just meh to something like the Pro-Ject Phono Box S or something similar in the 200+ dollars before investing in a really expensive cartridge.
I would really apreciate any opnion on this. Thanks!
P.S. if I'm going for a Bronze, I'll buy it directly from ortofon for 26$ more which includes warranty and Fedex shipping.
Also, do you think there is a reason to upgrade the AT-LP120 as well?
By the way, the rest of my setup is kind of High-End: AT-LP120->Integrated Phono Amp -> LittleDot MK IV SE (as a Tube buffer)-> Schiit Jotunheim (So I can use my 4-pin XLR balanced Headphones) -> Kenwood KA-5500 (vintage amp from the 70's) -> Cabasse Antigua MT31 Speakers.
Sound is my addiction, I buy so many amps, headphones, vintage amps, cassette decks, etc. With every new audio device purchased I get a little further in my journey in the audio kingdom and I don't see an end to this in the near future - as long as new amps and headphones come out I just gotta try them.
This is how I got into vinyl and I don't regret going down this road even for a sec - it is people like you that make this journey fun, people who are enthusiast about audio and music and help out others like them.
Thanks for the help!
