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...

There is a small trick to inserting them, but the guide wasn't very helpful with their images. The key to getting a decent seal on these is the twisting motion, and to also make sure that the tip of the plug is angled properly so that it's not hitting the sides of your ear canal as you're twisting it in.
After only 1 use they've become very gross, because the earwax will get inside of the little rubber folds, and even inside of the hole at the end. I've tried cleaning them with some tissue paper but it seems like it's a more involved process than this.
I got the highest hearing protection level, and it still doesn't seem to cancel out that much noise. I was watching a movie when I first received them, and I tried them out while listening to the movie. The only difference I noticed was the background noise becoming much less noticeable. There was rain in the background and I wasn't able to hear it. But that's about it. All of the voices and explosions sounded and felt the same, even after I was sure to seal these properly.
These are 7 dollar earplugs and I'm not sure why I thought any different when purchasing these.
To those of you saying that you can get 2 pairs for only a few more dollars, I haven't been able to find this. I can find some other Rooth branded earplugs for 3-6 dollars more, but they're not the same ones.
Anyway, very disappointed with the value of these earplugs and would advise other people to stay away at this price point. Just go get some 10 cent foam earplugs and call it good. You'll definitely lose out on some fidelity, but you'll make it up in pretty much every other aspect of an earplug. Sound dampening, comfort, fit, etc.
Also, which dB level did you get?
I got the highest level (27 dB)
Also, if you clean your ears properly, the vacuum effect might go away (if you mean like popping if you pull them out).
BTW you should be able to clean them with soap and water
