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...

- Directionality isn't intuitive when reaching for a little nub next to your head on the back of a headphone. Up/down/towards/away will take some thought because of the awkward placement and hand position
- It's hard to get accurate positional cardinality with a short throw stick and, again, your hand at a weird angle.
- Pressing the stick and not invoking a direction can be hard.
- Hard to use with gloves or by someone with less motor coordination.
- The different power/pairing functions based on number of presses and duration will be hard to remember and execute. I hate my Jabra 65t for this reason. Even worse here because it's combined with playback. Bose is the only one who I've seen do this well with a single control on the QC35. That toggle/slide button is clever and intuitive.
- It's a smell that you need a spreadsheet (plus a further clarification) to explain the 13 actions you can invoke from one control.
Why not a more conventional setup of a power/pairing button + standard 3 button volume/play control?
