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'm more interested in a traditional mp3 player than a hi-fi DAP, but suitable options are slim.
A large part of it is battery life. My ancient iRiver was advertised at 45 hours per (1) AA battery, and that was actually about right. Most modern devices don't even hit half that, except with fixed proprietary rechargeable batteries.
Another part is user interface. Why is it so hard to just copy a decade+ old iPod?
Storage is another issue. 128gb microSD cards are now cheap, but everything only "supports up to 32gb". What does that even mean? Maybe it supports more, but sometimes not. Great.
Not enough of them have Bluetooth.
Finally,I don't have the budget to be a real audiophile. My current smartphone is good enough. If I wanted a separate device, I'd dig up my old Galaxy S3. If I couldn't find it, I'd probably cheap out on a Sansa or Fiio M3 or something.
