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.

I got my Canon 5D Mark III in a split package deal (where they take out the kit lens, claim the rebate themselves, then resell the lens for a profit) from one such store and haven't had any issues with 10's of 1000's of frames shot. But still...
The headphones from Focus are almost certainly grey market items, so you won't get a USA warranty. If that or any of the above don't worry you, buy away.
