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 need help. Please someone help.
Personally, in spite of the cans in my collection, I’ve discovered I’m not so much a fan of a flat reference sound, favouring a more warm sound. There's a bit more Bass present in the 58x when compared to the 650/6xx - but remember none of these cans are thunderous bass cannons.
Have you had a chance to try the 650/6xx before on your setup?
Personally I live in a shared house so I can't do speakers (besides that's a whole other money pit that I want no part in haha)
I can certainly relate to the switching things up depending on your mood - Just before I leave for work in the morning I pick a can for the road and one for the office. All depending on how I feel.
I too have many headphones. I have a question. I received recently my Sennheiser HD 58X. Are the Sennheiser HD 6XX really superior? Is there a purpose for me to buy them?
Thank you in advance, Regards,
I think it would boil down to music preference and what you like more in your sound. The 6XX is just too slow for a lot of the blues I listen to so for me they're not ideal. I'm planning to give them another chance when I can run them balanced on a more powerful amp and make up my mind then. Otherwise, I will get rid of them over the 58X.
Really appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions, it's very insightful and helpful.
I have 2 amps : Asus Xonar Essence Stu, which is a powerful budget amp And the Nuforce HA 200, which might be a bit light
I liked smooth sound restitution, so the 6XX might be interesting.
Do you have much more definition with the 6XX?
Thanks again.

Personally, I love my Elex much more than the 58X and 6XX and like the HE4XX as a compliment to them. They're both very dynamic and for most of my music choices they pair very well. Neither are neutral and both are quite musical. Which, is right up my alley.
