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.

$380 for the CH 800 S is what I'm seeing everywhere right now. $320 for the CH 700 S. $240 for the CH 650 S.
Piss take comments on this cable being expensive are null imo. I won't comment on how it sounds due to not owning one. However, if you have a balanced amp and dac, you should see benefits from running fully balanced (which this cable can provide) depending on the amp and its design. I suppose that if you don't own a balanced capable setup, an HD800 and/or your stock cable isn't damaged or lost, save your money.
Not much else to say. OFC vs. OCC, OCC wins objectively. Whether or not you can hear the difference, that's up to the individual.
note: you can always reterminate the stock cable. ex: http://www.head-fi.org/t/490316/re-terminating-the-sennheiser-hd-800-cable-to-balanced#post_6620771

Massdrop should pay more attention to those Japanese products and vendors. ADL belongs to Furutech. They are one of the the main manufacturers of cable. http://www.adl-av.com/products/cables/headphone/
