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...

What I listen to (in order by genre listening frequency):
Jazz/Bebop - Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard, Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Roy Hargrove, Oscar Peterson, Chet Baker, Thelonius Monk, Jamie Cullum, Harry Connick (older recordings), etc. Swing & Standards - Mel Torme (Jerry... The Velvet Fog!), Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Billy Eckstine, Johnny Hartman, etc. LoFi/Electric - Joji, Knowmadic, Saib, Aso, Sworn, Philanthrope, etc. Rock - Toto, Rush, Thrice, Whitesnake, Scorpions, Warrant, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Poison, etc. Folk/Folk Rock/Surf Rock - Jack Johnson, Dan Mills, Avett Brothers, etc. Higher quality experiences I've had thus far: Wife has some Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250s that she uses in her recording studio. Liked, didn't love. Coworker let me try his AKG K553 Pros that he may be willing to sell to me for $60. I really like those. They have good clarity across the board and didn't punch out the melody with overpowering bass. Also let me listen to his Sennheiser HD 6XXs which were a true delight. The open back really made me feel like I might have been at a live show. A friend let me listen through his HD58X Jubilees the first time I tried 1P while on the peak and maybe it was just my state of mind, but, I was absolutely loving them. Personally, I own AirPods, Logitech G230s and G35s for gaming and watching at my desktop. I like the sound quality of my G230s, but don't love the cut in quality made to accomodate the "7.1" in the G35 phones. Where I'll be doing most of my listening: In a quiet room, in a comfortable chair in my house. I recognize that are dramatically different genres which is why I'd prefer flat-tuned headphones. After all my research, I've continually heard wonderful things about the Audio Technica ATH-M[X]0x series as the best overall headphone series for they're varying prices. I'm also willing to put some cash down on an amp on top of the headphone cost if I need one. I'm open to any and all suggestions that fit my requirements. Thank you all!
