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...

In terms of how the sale went, they really couldn't care too greatly on how many people complain. They solds 5000 units in 1.5 hours WITH all these issues. Someone will always complain when you have 14,000 people lined up to buy 5,000 headphones. Yes, the people who were ready to pull the trigger at launch (like me) and didn't get a can (like me) feel cheated and rightfully pissed as hell but that's what happens when you sell cans at 1/2 - 1/3 of retail price.
I think we as an audio community here, pulled for hd8xx but at that price point don't think Senn wanted to create another line thats cheaper that what they sell it for or sale price (do new hd800s even go on sale?)
So if i were Senn, i'd be like MD get ur shit together, and we will continue to do business, otherwise, what prevents Senn from selling these at 199 themselves if they see this huge but temporary demand, so that would mean future roadmap for Senn would mean a new headphone above hd800 since they are charging a cheaper price on their old "flagship" . not like MD is big enough to demand certain things from Senn. just talk aloud though.
well the bar has been set no?
if enough branding/hype/awareness/marketing goes out, where else would you buy these if you really really wanted these? and knowing that MD will sell this XXXXXXXXXXXX amount of times, and because its just basically cosmetic differences, there's no where else to get it besides here. that said, this is their 1st of the XX line that was purely cosmetic i think? usually the XX line has custom stuff done (take this out, put this in, etc) so its more unique because Will and his team handle that.
