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...

After a long discussion with an Amazon agent who seems to have some idea on audio topics ,I've felt more confident taking these.
Thank you so much for everyone who's been suggesting whatever, I appreciate the time and thought you've put into this.
Hope you'll have a great week.
Since you already got your speakers, this reply is really for anyone else looking for quality powered desktop speakers. If you care about quality music reproduction--try these: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/swan-m200-mkiii-speaker-system
Background: I looked quite awhile for new desktop speakers. The search became depressing as I realized: A. Many powered desktop speakers (IMO) are downscale/wannabe versions of powered studio monitors. They claim to be "flat" (not that "flat" is good for music listening--it really isn't), but are less than competent, colored, not very enjoyable speakers. B. Others really ARE powered studio monitors--expensive, truly flat, built like tanks, but no fun to listen to. C. Few systems seem aimed at music lovers who do their listening on the desktop.
I read many comments about systems that interested me--carefully weeding out those likely to be too bright, a common flaw in desktop audio, a fatal one in my experience, when the speaker is <24" from one's ears.
The Swans fit all my criteria, and then some. I use them with a small sub, and the system sounds very good. I keep the controls flat/centered; have the volume maxed and control it via headphone amp that doubles as a preamp. The Swans are not equal to some of the amazing living-room speakers I've heard, but that's OK. What I need them to do is sound good in nearfield listening & reproduce all genres of music in a truthful, enjoyable manner. That's what they do. Highly recommended. From what I can tell, the price is equal or a little less than the Edifiers.
