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...

What is the speciality of this drop that is different from buying from other websites or shops other than the price?
Reason why i am asking is because in singapore, online shops are selling at sgd799 with tax included and comes with local 1 yr warranty. (See attached screenshot) Where as this drop is at usd499 which converts to ard sgd700 (including import tax in singapore will be ard sgd750) and comds with massdrop warranty i suppose.
Both prices are very close sgd799 (sg online shop) vs sgd750 (massdrop) hence if there are no difference in massdrop vs other sources then i might get it from other online shops.
Lastly, i own a sony xba-z5. Is there a mark improvement with lyra 2 over z5. I hear mostly jazz, pop, vocal, classical and instruments type of music.
Thanks in advance for your advice on the above.

Then i think get it from the online shops will be safer with warranty and also earlier delivery dates.
Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks.
Can you please help me to check the price of ie800 there? There is a special price for member. If the price is worth it ,i will join as member and buy. But i need to see the special price for ie800.
Pretty please? Thank you
I am not a member hence not able to check on the ie800 member price.
Cheers.
I've owned all 3, Lyra is better than IE800 and the Z5 in terms of fit as well. I'd probably rate them Lyra II> Z5 > IE800.
I just change my z5 cable to the sony m20bl1 cable and reterminate to balance 2.5mm furutech carbon plug.
The sound now is much more clear and with a wider soundstage.
As of now i am very happy with z5 sound. (But i know once i hear other iems i will feel that others will be better. Haha)
As for this lyra drop, i dont see why i should join as in singapore the price is almost the same with delivery within 3 days and comes with local warranty. Unless this lyra in massdrop is special which i dont think so.
Thanks again.
Contrary to popular belief when I first got the Lyras I didn't like them coming from a brighter earphone like the ex1000 which are my golden standard for dynamic iems and still are even after getting the Lyras. The thickness in the mids and bass I initially took as muddiness and lack of clarity and the rolled back highs felt like a lack of extension into the treble region. The more I listened to it the more I realized how similar it sounded to the JVC FX850 but not as warm, a bit better bass control, a better fit, better cable, and better build quality.
If you like neutral sound you won't like the Lyra. If you like a brighter signature you won't like the Lyra. If you prefer accuracy & detail retrieval to a colored and musical sound you probably won't like the Lyra. You see where I'm going with this? Its all subjective. My opinion does not make it a fact. I'm simply offering MY opinion because I've heard and owned a lot of the earphones here that people are asking for comparisons. This is not a cheap product. A lot of people here won't have the opportunity to demo before they join the drop. Even in a lot of my posts here I've mentioned that I don't recommend them at $700 and that depending on your needs and listening habits these may not even be worth the $500 asking price on Massdrop. If I offended you by saying the IE800 wasn't good it wasn't because I was trying to hype these up it was simply because they don't fit my tonal preferences and a darker signature like that present on the Z5 and the Lyra are more in line with what I like to hear in dynamic driver sets.
