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.

Makes me sick to the core. I for one am staying away from FiiO - there are so many other companies that make great amp/DACs around like Schiit who are much better.
In this case with MassDrop, you'd actually want to buy if the E10K seems right for your needs (and you're patient and find the discount worthwhile), since MD is repping a free, competitive market more acceptably. Outside of this case, the FiiO policy bothers me as well.
