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...

We’ve been able to work with Sennheiser to expand the latest production run of the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones without impacting the ship date of the previous drops. Because of this, will likely be able to open up a couple of limited quantity drops over the next several months.
This first drop will be live at 6am PT on 2/8 with a quantity of 1,000 units available. These units are estimated to ship in mid-July.
We’re excited to be able to help some more members get their hands on a pair of the 6XX!
Man I feel like a MassDrop commercial. I swear I don't work for them.
Thanks MrBig! I agree, as someone who participates in drops as well I really love that aspect of Massdrop.
Each of these collaborations is only possible if members are excited enough to order one and get the product made. And I think there's even more we can do to help bring members in on that process (early feedback on concept/design, sneak peaks, exclusive content, reviews, other perks, etc.). We'll be trying to do more on this front this year!

Sorry for being out of topic but I figure this busy thread would get me the most attention. :D I already have a 6XX and absolutely love them. But I think I'm ready to try another Sennheiser.
I'm surprised it's back so soon actually. Either it's proven more profitable than expected for all parties or MD has found it easier to work with Sennheiser as time goes on.
Or they really wanna get rid of HD650 parts ASAP in order to push the HD660S... ;> Pick your preferred theory depending on level of cynicism or optimism.
Yeah I ordered back in January and I'm starting to wig out. I don't think I can do this MassDrop stuff regularly. The delay is just one month TOO long almost. But the savings on this specific job is just too good to ignore.
Does MassDrop use FedEx SmartPost throughout the US? (where they take it some of the way then hand it to USPS) Here in Puerto Rico that seems slower than just sending it straight via FedEx OR straight via USPS even.
The tracking is pretty haphazard too, sometimes a month goes by without an update.
A European warehouse would be awesome! Right now the 6XXs get made in Ireland, only a few hundred kilometers from here. Then, it goes all the way to the US to Massdrop, then all the way back here. Seems like a waste of money and time. A EU warehouse could solve it.
Also they have to deal with fees from customs and provide a reasonable estimate to the user as to how long the product may be tied up in customs, and any fees that may arise in the process of customs.
Multiply this over the many different laws and regions in the EU and it quickly becomes very expensive to get it right AND support it.
I am shocked to also hear you cast such slanderous aspersions against a fine company like Apple, as well! In my experience, I have never known an Apple product to fail (only to be upgraded, a week after my purchase). And by the way, comrade, I'm listening to Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Sonata No. 2 with my Apple AirPods--as we speak, and they are working quite well, thank you!
Of course one day, hopefully in the present decade, Massdrop will ship our damn Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones, and our color-matched, 2.5m Sennheiser HD 6XX 4 Pin Balanced Cables (with the $30.00 up-charge), and...if the moon and stars are aligned, Shiit will ship my twice-backordered, Jotunheim amp (with the additional $100 DAC module), and I promise, I'll do nice A/B test for you: the working-man's iPhone 8 with AirPods, against the bourgeoise Jotunheim/Sennheiser combo!
I know you won't want to miss it, comrade...
