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...

FYI the local customs charged me PhP 1300.00 more or less which is about $30 for taxes/customs duties. Not bad for an item originally priced at $200+. Plus here in the Philippines, this still cost at around PhP 12,000.00 or $270. Still a win-win for me.
Not an audiophile but I think everything for me is balanced. But still I have to ask: does this thing need an amplifier or something? Any recommendations?
As a fellow Filipino Massdrop customer, here are some tips that can give based on experience:
1. Provincial post offices DONT charge customs duties and just charge you with the standard 100 peso fee. I can confidently say this as all of the drops I've participated in (you can check my profile) are all duty free. If you want to save a few hundred pesos (or even a thousand), find someone who lives in the province and ship your items to their address, then just get it from them when they receive it.
2. If you want to get your item faster, try going to the post office regularly to check if your item is with them. The fastest massdrop item I got was 12 days after massdrop shipped it (the slowest was 28 days, but that was over the christmas season so there were a lot of holidays), so if it has been 12 days already, you can start doing weekly trips to the post office.
