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...

Are you attaching the packages to divers and sending them across the ocean? That's extremely slow.
I'm just the IT guy, but this was my experience years ago doing similar things in another life.
How we do things now means all 3000 units (my guess is plus 1-2% for error/defect control but I dont actually know this) on a pallet or pallets shipped to our facility in the US. It's one "pile" for the MFG to address and send. There's no additional counting, not additional labor from them. Its just "this is massdrop's" and they send those we get it we use our team who specializes in this sorting and they send back. The end result is a world-wide trip for you, but a margin of error thats much lower.
Lets say we have 127 of our orders come from APAC, and we want to send those to a NEW (we don't have one obviously) shipment center. The third party logistics costs on those 127 items is through the roof because 1) we had to create a second freight shipment, 2) had to deal with a second round of customs, 3) have to pay to send in a hugely lower volume. Meanwhile the cost of our overall freight to the US is probably almost the same. Then4) we also have to hope the MFG separated exactly the right amount into the bucket, which doesn't always happen. If we have too many then we're stuck with a shortage in the US and shipping costs for a few upset users skyrockets, and vice versa the shipping and logistics costs go up too from the US to APAC. Lastly it's also a lot or for our awesome logistics team to worry about.
TL;DR Logistics sucks. Unless we're talking about thousands of units going to APAC from all drops adding this into our chain doesn't get easy or affordable.
Less distance would be traveled, less time in customs and packages would travel more distance individually - making air more viable.
Obviously I'm not part of the business and I haven't thoroughly researched the subject I'm no expert! I also realize your not from logistics, but I appreciate you taking the time to reply!
