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...

Let me tell you my story, after apple discontinued the original buds they included with the ipod (around 2008), very similar in style to monks, I realized the whole world was moving away from UFO, or dish style earbuds (monk style). I thought that I was SOL, I thought that I would not ever be able to listen to earbuds that just fit in your ears, and I would have to use wraparound hook style buds if I needed to listen to something and over ear headphones wouldn't cut it.
A few years go by, and I had lost hope, Bluetooth at least had become standard so I was able to listen to things on the go a bit easier than I had in the past. But I still needed to carry around a case for the headphones, I couldn't just throw them into my bag, and I can only wear the hooks for about 30 mins to an hour before I start to feel discomfort.
Enter Venture Electronics and the Monk. It's been nearly 10 years with needing to hook my buds to the backs of my ears, and now not only do I get to use something that fits, but I get to listen to the best soundstage (imo) for under $100, all day long.
So now I have 30 pairs of monks or so, I buy 5 pairs when massdrop comes out with a new color, and I've bought the limited editions from VecLan.com - I'm not going to be unprepared when this tooling is finally killed.
