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...

I do not understand why everyone is surprised. You all knew what you were getting yourself into when you signed on for the drop. As you have with any other drop that you have participated in. The only guarantee is that you will get the product. Time of fulfillment is an estimate.
If you look at Fostex's website, it appears that the most similar model based on specs (not exactly the same) is the TH610s. They are listed on Amazon, for much more that what we paid, you can go ahead and pay extra money for the convenience of buying from a retailer.
Massdrop's own words are that it is a community-driven e-commerce site. It seems that people fail to understand that the Massdrop does not have the items sitting in a warehouse waiting for the drop to complete.
With that said, it appears that there is a lot of confusion with multiple drops being handled in the same thread. As long as I get the cans eventually, everything will be okay. A better communication system would certainly be helpful, but just simply saying at the start of the drop update which drop you are referring to.
Hopefully some of what I said resonates with some of you and you calm down and stop angrily typing away at a company that promises that are failing to keep that they never actually made. Let them spend more time trying to get the drops in order and improve the communication instead of having to deal with babysitting unhappy customers that can't handle being patient. If you really need instant gratification, go to your local hifi audio dealer and spend your whole wallet on a full retail price item.
I'll stay on the drop.
So just take definition number 1, "the sale of goods to ultimate consumers." -- Massdrop IS a retailer. If you really want to know, just ask them how much they paid in sales tax last year. (just because you don't see a sales tax number in the order doesn't mean it isn't paid). Massdrop, but pretty much any definition is a retailer. They are not a reseller in the traditional sense of walking into a store and picking something up, but then again Amazon isn't either.
Massdrop is a retailer in that they are the entity that goes to the manufacturer, Fostex in this case, buys product(s) in a bulk of some amount, then fulfills those to orders which have been placed. Fostex, for the record, is a MANUFACTURER, owned by Foster Electric and headquartered in Japan. Fostex chooses, like so many other manufacturers do today, to sell direct. This is the business model change that many of our parents and almost certainly our grandparents/great-grandparents would just never understand. However, please disabuse yourself of the notion that Massdrop is not a retailer. Because of this, they are being held to the standards of a retailer by those of us on this forum who have been waiting a long time for goods we paid for and then "seem" to have then be treated wrongly on. I don't know MDs intent, no one but MD does and I'll just assume it's an honest mistake (as much as possible). However, telling me they aren't a retailer or that we who have been waiting for a long time to get an already designed model of headphones when others who ordered a brand new model of headphones have gotten their's, that is just a non-sense argument.
