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...

Also, it's increasingly inconvenient to listen to music out loud. About a third of those 18-34 still live at home (sadly including me). Due to scheduling mismatch and paper thin walls, listening to music out loud is a special treat for me, and being able to play it loudly is a rare luxury. I bought a Peachtree deepBlue2 bluetooth speaker a while back. It sounds absolutely amazing, but sometimes I wish I didn't buy it since I don't get to listen to it very often. It's great to bring to a friend's apartment, but even then it's disappointing to have to keep the volume down.
You get a lot more bang for your buck with headphones. Ridiculously more. I bought some Macaw GT100S IEM's on a previous drop for about $60. They sound simply exceptional. The same $60 might buy junky computer speakers or a low end bluetooth speaker.

Kind of. Because headphones are such a stronger value, it's easier to buy a pair here and there over a course of years. It adds up over time, sure, but you get to sample a variety and have dedicated pairs for various purposes.

In my opinion, I think it's more about the convenience of portability. It's possible to listen to headphones at school, on mass transit, possibly at work, or anywhere else you might be.
I'd love to listen to my deepBlue2 all the time, but it's not really practical, and especially so outside the home.
