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...

But I still can't justify it when for over 4 years I've been throwing my V-Moda headphones of which I own 3 pairs on to my granite desk, bed, wood floor, and even the kitchen and bathroom counter. So I guess owning headphones made of metal and good plastic outweighs a wood stand regardless of design. That's just my opinion.
If my headphones cost $500 and up, this and the Sieveking could be justified unless you just want to show off and put some $50 cans on this.
How did I do?
Now as to this stand. I think it's pretty damn alluring. To me it's far more appealing than the Sieveking. Is it worth the amount asked? Yes. Because I've asked wood artists to make me something and even a simple design is quite expensive to commission. Which is the reason I end up waiting around until I find something far cheaper but eye pleasing. So time is on my side.
I want this but I wouldn't justify the cost.
I know what can happen to something rather expensive like an HD800 if you forgo using any headphone stand or the box it comes in or using it as a hockey puck; I can't tell which in this instance. See : http://www.head-fi.org/t/792264/sennheiser-hd800-w-anax-mod-s-n-33xxx-23-photos-added note: that's not to advertise my sale as it's already sold. I just don't want to post that many photos here.
My TH900 is vulnerable to being scratched quite easily compared to some other headphones. I'll never place it on my desk. It's only potential cosmetic blemishes, but those diminish their appeal and resale value.
Both of those headphones mentioned are fragile compared to some other offerings and rather expensive. Premium priced headphone on a premium priced stand doesn't seem out of line to me dependent upon priorities. If you already have everything else in your chain sorted out (dac, amp, headphone, cable, etc.), a headphone stand isn't unreasonable. I almost bought the Sieveking Omega stand on the last drop. I decided to put that money towards a power conditioner instead.
I find both the Sieveking and Klutz designs stands to be appealing. However, I ended up buying a Woo Audio Double Headphone stand due to: 1) price. 2) height adjustability. 3) it fits 2 headphones as opposed to just 1. Really good value if you aren't dead set on Wood. I don't want multiple headphone stands on my desk anymore either.
Would I like to own one of these? Yes. Will I ever buy one? Unlikely. I'll gladly accept one for free though. :)
I guess it's more for obnoxious reasons than for practical ones to 'spend' on a headphone stand.
Another asshole supporting your thoughts.
