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...

Another way to think about it: The frustration with low quantity available, ultra-high demand, technical issues trying to purchase them, and high impedance pretty much requiring a dedicated amplifier all represent barriers that actually helps people keep their impulsive spending on this hobby under control. For collectors these issues also increase demand/"hype" and possible resale value, although if the AKG K7xx and Fostex TH-X00 massdrop exclusives are anything to go by, they will keep pumping these out until they've taken all of our money...then come out with a cool new color-scheme to take even more. It's Massdrop's MO. If we had properly functioning brains we would just scrap the whole thing and get some earbuds at the local gas station. /s
*edit* Of course, I can afford to be flippant about it, as I was one of the lucky ones that had my order go through.
