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...

I thoug FedEx worked on Saturday so not sure whey they where picked up yesterday, but I assume they should start moving tomorrow (Monday).
After Monday is when I'll consider pestering them about it.
I've tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but now I'm starting to get pissed.
I also don't understand how they can advertise that they will ship the speakers by tomorrow if you order within x hours (the message below to "Join drop" button) when they can't even send out past order. I guess making label == shipping to Massdrop.
This was my first order with this site and I've been pretty disappointed so far.
That whole, "This item is in stock and will ship in 2–3 business days". seems TOTALLY meaningless.
I was being patient, until today. Contacting customer service tonight and expressing my disappointment. if nothing happens tomorrow I'll contact them again tomorrow night and express my anger. Will continue to do so until item is ACTUALLY in transit.
With any luck it did get picked up today and FedEx just hasn't updated the system yet. Still no where near their claimed 2 - 3 days shipping. ;(
It's still 11 day not the claimed 2 -3 days.
Now I'm going to want some more "good speakers". Hopefully I wont collect as many speakers as I have headphone, LOL!
I originally turned it down to 5 but yesterdays windows update seems to have lowered my PC volume levels I've cranked it back up to 8 or 9 and it quiet enough to not bother me over my room noise. I did add a short 3.5mm extension that seems to have helped a bit over plugging the speakers srtaight into my monitor (monitor get audio via HDMI and has a 3.5mm out).
I did plug it into my two Shangling DAPs (M1 and M2s) and could not not really heat any buzzing/static. So I think the source has something to do with it.
When my TRS cables I'm going to connect them to my NFB-11 DAC/AMP via a Mackie Big Knob Passive (w/ two inputs and two outputs). This way I can drive them from my PC via 3.5mm or my NFB-11 via TRS (don't need my NFB-11 running to watch YouTube videos or general computing).
I added a subwoofer to my NFB-11 by slitting the RCA out into two (one to the sub and one to the speakers) so I'm looking forward to being bale to have that option. I tested it and it add a whole other dimension.
One surprising thing is the the volume output on the 2i2 seems to be louder than the preamp on the Origen G2. I don't know if that's because of the cable change, but at the same speaker volume where I was maxing the G2 is only about 1 o' clock on the 2i2. So even though I bought the 2i2 so I could raise the volume on the speakers from level 4, I don't need to anymore lol.
