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...

Sonically, these are pretty great for the price. It's definitely not a neutral/critical listening pair, but I've been able to enjoy listening to just about any genre with these. It won't match higher end cans, but for what it is, it's great.
Also, while these are fully plastic, it is definitely some type of durable plastic. It's different than the cheap plastic stuff you might see from off the shelf headphones or low end gaming headsets. As I mentioned above, I've basically stretched the headband almost flat over the box it came with over an extended period and it shows no sign of stress or cracking. The material makes me feel that I could drop these from my head to concrete floor or toss it carelessly in a bag full of stuff without cracking the plastic, which is much more than I could say vs other cheap headphones or even some of my more expensive pairs. It is all plastic so it's not going to look super premium, but it is durable and fairly well built for its intended purpose. It also comes with a set of replacement velor pads (which I felt is cheap and isn't as good as the pleather it comes stock in) and a carrying bag, so for the price, it's definitely a good value.
