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...

DF compensated? Check. Linear bass? Check. Flush fit with detachable over-ear cables? Check.
It's almost as if I designed this for myself. I've been wondering why such an IEM didn't exist already.
Thank you so much for investing the time and effort into making this happen. I'm sure they'll be a great set of IEMs for a very long time.
The housing of this IEM (from the pictures) has the same notch that my HiFiMans do, so I'd assume that the cable should work, but don't quote me on that.
One more issue with regard to warranty. I understand that there is a one-year warranty period. If very unfortunately my Plus runs into some issues, can it be repaired? Should I expect a somewhat higher labour/parts cost as these are mass produced?
How do these compare to UE triplefi10? Does anybody know?

Fully agree that the Massdrop Plus will sound quite different from the TF10.
I don't think Tyll is going to use OW though. Didn't he make a big post about a new curve recently? There was some controversy over his choice to not compensate the bass region at all.
No bass boost 🤷♂️
The new compensation looks like it creates an increase in "perceived" upper midrange and treble regions. In other words, instead of adjusting the bass, he decided to adjust both the treble and midrange. The new compensation essentially requires that headphones don't need to produce as much midrange and treble to be considered "neutral". Think of it this way, if I wanted to EQ the bass, I have two choices, adjust he bass by itself or adjust both the treble and the midrange. I can EQ the bass up, but I can also get a similar outcome if I adjust both the midrange and treble down. He's decided to do the latter rather than the former.
