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...

Are you paying $400 for deadlines or for the headphones? I think it's kinda stupid to refund or maybe some of you just didn't really want the X00s. Oh well, everyone does what he wants. Whatever.
I think all we need are daily updates. That's it.
Let me take this out of the world of Massdrop and into the world of one of my favorite cars that I'll never own. Suppose that I created an offering for 10 Ferrari Enzo Ferraris for $1.8 million dollars each to be delivered on January 1st, 2017. You take me up on that (incredible by the way) deal in June of 2016. At the end of August 2016, I put up another offering to people for the same price for 5 Ferrari Enzo Ferraris which are a "special offering" with a promised delivery date of November 1st, 2016. Would you, after agreeing that $1.8 million is an insanely great deal with a delivery of January 1st be happy that I decided to give this second offering? Now let me take this further. Suppose, in the original offering that there was a choice of either the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari (sorry, that's it's full and proper name) or the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione, with the FXX Evoluzione offering to be limited to 10 total cars (and also suppose that the FXX Evoluzione had not been developed yet). The price for the FXX Evoluzione in my offering was $2.1 million dollars because the speed goes from 197MPH to 214MPH along with all the other things which make that car so nice. The delivery date for the FXX Evoluzione (again, this was not even developed at the time of the original offering except maybe on paper with a couple test versions), was the same January 1, 2017.
With this all done, the following happens, the people who opted the FXX Evoluzione came home beginning in late August and into early September to find their brand new toy parked in their driveway with the keys by the front door in a <insert carrier here> box. There were 6 people who got the car and 2 of those noticed that the headlamp assembly wasn't correctly installed so needed to be redone. However, they DID get their cars. Those who went with the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari, which was already a production car weren't getting anything. Then the people in the first offering began to question me as to why I suddenly had 5 of the Ferrari Enzo Ferraris to offer at the end of August but weren't able to begin shipping to them since they had paid earlier. Then the ship date of the set of 5 comes and goes and still, no one who ordered the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari has their cars while the FXX Evoluzione's are being delivered each day.
So, in this, were you paying for the car or paying for the delivery date? My guess is you're paying for both. If I kept that whole scenario up and we got to a year out and you still didn't have your car, would you still be saying, well, it was such a great deal...? NO, you wouldn't, you would be justifiably saying WHY AREN'T YOU FULFILLING THE ORDER I PLACED??? If I then didn't say anything to you and just made no updates, or forced you to login to a discussion thread with 275 pages in it to find the one or two sporadic comments that I made about the delivery, you'd be justifiably upset and demanding that you receive either your car or you get your $1.8 million back.
Now, I fully realize that there's a massive difference between $400.00 and $1.8 million, but the comparison still stands. You aren't just paying for the product irrespective of delivery any more than you're paying for delivery irrespective of QA. If I fulfilled your Ferrari Enzo Ferrari but it was missing all but 1 lug bolt per tire, didn't have a spare in the bonnet, the mufflers were hanging by one bolt on each side, then you'd be also justifiably upset.
What I'm looking for and what I think the others who have posted recently are looking for is not a huge explanation about the second drop. That happened, it's done, moving on. What we do expect is to have timely updates in an email form, not having to scroll through this post to find where MD decided to make some comments about delivery.
I really don't have any more to say about this after this post, (I've probably typed way more than needed anyway) and I'm staying in until I get my headphones. This, however, will be the last item I purchase from MD until I can see that the delivery problems have been corrected. At this point, this has gotten so bad that MD should really be doing far more to defend their customers than saying that it's all UPS fault that they don't have the headphones. Something's got to change.
