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...

How about this: would you be willing to pay MD more, if they shipped the 6XXs to you faster? Lets say they offered to cut the waiting time down by one half (say 55 days instead of 109 days). Would you pay $86.11 more ($1.58 x 55 days)? That would bring the MD price up to $285-ish. Worth it to save half the wait? Hmm...?
Okay, none of that math actually means anything--only the ship date and the MD vs Amazon prices have any real meaning, but my point is this: if you can swing the extra $169.00, for gods sake, get out of line!
I'm suggesting this because I could have spent the extra dough, and didn't--and now I'm wondering why the hell I didn't?! I like my 6XXs plenty, but I'm sure I would have liked the 650s too. So what was I standing in line so damn long for? I'll tell you why--"MD-itous"--it's a disease! A guy can get caught up in MDs time limited, quantity limited, hype to the point where suddenly several thousand people end up going nuts to buy some what-not for fear it will disappear faster than they can order it (I was one of those guys too). All of that is good for MD--keeps the big guys at the top running around in new Porches and living it up at expensive San Francisco eateries every night, but it's not that good for you!
Unless the $169 is an issue for you (I realize that buys a lot of lunch, and folks have to eat), or if the 109 days is no big thing to you, 'cause you're the patient type.
But if neither applies to you, take my suggestion and just spend the cash and get the 650s!
You know, just say'n...
Kidding of course, I did the same thing, but I bet we're both waiting for those damn 4XXs to ship, rather than listening to them?
BTW, I have a balanced amp, and did try a balanced cable with my 6XXs--my verdict: no difference!
