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...

Put down your pitchforks people. Do you want headphones? Do you not want headphones? I'm not sure that something like this is worth getting emotional about and feeling betrayed over. I see a bunch of accusations based on limited information and subjective interpretation of that information. Am I missing some precedence? Massdrop and AKG aren't exactly fly-by-night operations, are they? I'm used to seeing deadlines and delivery estimates ignored on places like Kickstarter, but these guys seem to be pretty consistent about delivering products as described and relatively within time estimates, at least in my limited experience ordering from them... Am I missing part of the picture?
People are most upset with the old shot clock trick. Time is running out, get your limited blah blah today! Only XXX available, call now to reserve yours. Any of those sales gimmicks. That is what i think is rubbing people the wrong way. It is the way they changed the terms of the sale after people entered into the sale with them. It is shady.
What kept them from going the other direction. A week from now the truck shows up with only half of the supply they ordered. Are people as okay with that. OOPS sorry guys, we dun messed up! Nope, that would fly like a lead balloon. So why everyone is so okay with them changing the terms halfway through, just because it is to our benefit?
List a new drop with the 420 extra units. That is what they should have done. Even if the end result is the same. It was weird that they didn't lock out the drop and came out with the info about the extra units like a day after the drop should have ended. Almost like they had knowledge that they were getting more a bit before the drop was ending. The way they did things is weird. We can't change the past but hopefully they will consider different options in the future for how to handle this sort of thing.
That is the gimmick. The limited availability of things set to a specified time. You are right in that it means little to nothing in the grand scheme of things. I am trying to present to you why people are upset.
I am not going to cancel my order, i want my headphones. I will not hesitate to order outside of massdrop in the future unless it is an unbeatable deal. I am not really that concerned. Not my business. I thought that maybe someone at massdrop might read it and understand. To each their own. If you are okay with people telling you one thing and doing another then so be it. Who am i to tell you that is wrong? There is no recourse to this. There is no wrong doing by massdrop. It is just the way they handled this. They won't know that people don't like this sort of stuff if people aren't vocal about it. If massdrop was my site, i would want to hear feedback, positive or negative, so that i can improve.
I don't care if a billion people own these things, that doesn't matter to me. I bought them because they are supposedly a good set of headphones for a fair price. On the same token i don't feel any more special knowing i am sharing the experience with others. Doesn't impact me either way.
People are so helpful if they were previous purchasers of the drops and give in depth feedback for returning drops so people know if it's a good idea for them to join in.
