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...

I have had the previledge of helping with prototypes in making this massdrop exclusive cable and VE's future cables in general
few things I would like to point out:
1. cable microphonics have been a problem before but that has been long gone since the addition of the new sleeve which is much softer than previous sleeve material
2. I personally had problem with the heat shrink hitting my shoulders because it was too long. This has also been fixed
so if you know me, you know that I can get pretty picky. VE has addressed not most BUT all of my concerns and thus I have bought few cables myself for many of the hifiman, audeze, sennheiser headphones and countless iems at our studio.
hand made cables at this cost is remarkable in my opinion and since some stock cables especially the one for he4xx is not so great or if you want a different termination for your headphones, I believe this may float your boat.
I am not too keen on making a whole video on cables, maybe in the future but I wanted to leave a short review/info from what I know.
cheers,
Now if you're talking about its sonic performance then I'll take your word for it; I've personally found that unless you're being SUPER picky when it comes to copper vs proper silver I can't discern any audible differences so I'll refrain from going into discussion regarding that.
I like rubbery cables though, it's super malleable, light weight and looks unobtrusive.
