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...

So anyone who's ever bought something from the Audiophile section? Or people who jumped on previous Massdrop custom products? People who set Audiophile as their fave section?
If you're in the second group (joined this drop, and purchased a custom product previously) you're in for both dice rolls/wheel spins (the 1/~2000 chance for everyone in the drop, and the 1/<2000 chance for everyone who's in the drop that previously joined a custom product).
You wrote, "there's two groups. One is everyone who joins this drop, and the other is everyone who joins this drop and has previously participated in a drop for an audiophile custom product (M9XX, K7XX, TH-X00, etc.). The second group is a subset of the first group."
Isn't this a way of offering a VIP-style reward to frequent purchasers without excluding first-time purchasers from enjoying a potential benefit?
This seems to be a far better fit for MD than the subscription and privilege models, which I think would anger a lot of long-term members.
The stratified raffle that's now built into in this drop follows the third (and, in your view, the safest) model in your interesting response to the community's discussion.
Personally, I think that two-tier contests based on past purchases are about as far as your VIP model should go. I don't welcome the idea of exclusivity in a collaborative group-buy environment.
The main concern associated with some kind of formalized VIP program based on behavior is accidentally encouraging the wrong thing. It's really hard to design good incentive structures. Famous example, an english archeological expedition goes to China in the 1800s looking for fossils. They find some in a field outside a village so they offer the villagers a deal. Come to the field, dig up fossils, give them to us, we'll pay you $5 (or w/e currency it was) for every fossil. Villagers are psyched, go out to the field, start digging up fossils, start turning them in, start getting that $$$.
Everything's great until the villagers realize, it's $5 per fossil, doesn't matter how big or small. So what do they do? Take the biggest most perfect fossil specimens, and smash them into tiny fragments, turning in each fragment for $5.
I don't want people smashing perfect fossils.
