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...

With that said, I don't believe that these are for saving your ears. They are meant to reduce volume. So when you go to a concert it will reduce the volume when you are in the front row but the sound could still be loud enough to damage your ears. If you are looking for hearing protection, I would suggest getting actual hearing protection or doubling up.
Edit: The 3M earplugs for a nickel are the ones that I first mentioned. Those are sponges and will have some sort of sound reduction associated with them. These do too, however, those are ear plugs, these are not ear plugs. Again, if you want to protect your hearing get earmuffs.
