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...

Anyway as a replacement I got shp9500s, and although they do sound good, I don't guess I have a critical enough ear to say how or even if they're better, and that's between open & closed headphones.
I do have a certain opinion in comfort, to me- i notice the shp9500's are a few ounces heavier, the mesh fabric pad covering are a little more annoying, and in its smallest setting, they are still a half click too large for me. I'm looking at either buying the housing & replacement pads on those, or for not much more dumping them for these 579's... my question is WILL the 579's be a significant upgrade in comfort? All the warm/bright soundstage/clarity/separation etc. is over my head. I don't know what I'm listening to. THey all sound good. But if these senns are going to be more comfortable out of the box, I'd rather go that route.
Thoughts.
The only time they get a little bad is over a long period of time and your face oils build up a bit in the velour. However, some massaging, warm water, and dish soup fixes that, plus the pads are replaceable (at least more easily than the shp9500).
I guess what I'm saying is yes, these are very comfortable.
