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 did a quick compare to my 30 year-old Koss Pro4X+, and the difference is substantial. The Koss sounds as if I'm listening in a squashed box, and the Philips is wiiiiide open.
I had invested in an AKG 702 5 years ago, and while I was very satisfied with its sound, AKG (Harman USA) jerked me around with servicing a defect, so that the headphones were away from me for over 6 months. And then the defect was still not repaired, so I swore that AKG would never see my hard-earned cash again.
Since then, I've held off buying a decent pair of cans - these being Philips, I was more open to taking the plunge, and this Philips unit is definitely a keeper.
Philips has never disappointed me - my original and only CD player is the legendary CD650 with the TDA1541A DAC - now almost 30 years old, and the 32" TV (serving as my computer monitor) is also a Philips unit.
