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.

I have an old pair of Altec Lansing MX5021's, which are great for "computer speakers," and I loved them when I got them before I started high school...but these days, they just don't cut it for me. The amp in them is also starting to die. Maybe I'll mod them for fun someday to see what I can get out of them (the electronics have a lot of room for improvement), so we'll see.
Above all, if there's going to be a drop on "desktop PC speakers" in an "audiophile" category, two things that generally don't go well together (not that there aren't exceptions of course), lets get as close to "audiophile" audio as we can. Besides, I personally would rather see a drop on a more expensive item as most computer speakers are pretty affordable for many people.
