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...

Just like the statement that this UIEM is "Made in America"...again, NO it is NOT!
This is just the sort of bullshit info put out by Massdrop that's grossly incorrect and misleading.
Yes the waiting time is long-ish but no diffent from those projects in Kickstarter & Indiegogo which might take a couple of years. Your wait time translate into a huge savings for a uiem from a reputable company, so to that end, it is reasonable.
Are you (A) saying that parts might be made in the USA, but partial assembly and a few of the parts are from elsewhere, or (B) accusing Jude and MD of either lying or being fed false info by Noble Audio? I'm only asking because option A is true and option B seems unlikely. It's far more likely that someone at MD misunderstood, as humans often do.
FYI: it isn't lying to feature a drop on Black Friday and call it a Black Friday drop without confining the time of the drop to Black Friday or featuring an additional discount; it's using an event to market a product. If that were lying, then half of the legitimate vendors in the world would be lying as well.
*btw Jude also mentioned that Noble X is essentially a Savant in another name but we now know its not but a retuned version of Savant
Jude is an old friend, so of course I read his description of the sonic differences between the Savant and the Noble X; he tends to be an astute critic despite people's dismissals of him as a cheerleader of new products. If they'd ever spoken to him about why he likes something new in evolutionary terms and whether he's aware of its limitations, they'd know better. Whether the Noble X is derived from the Savant or not, he made it clear that the sound seemed far from identical to him.
But since I didn't mention Jude's assessment at all, I'm wondering whether you're responding to my post or combining it with another of the responses to yours. It's an easy thing to do when reloading pages on this site is frequently problematic.
When you talk to him in person, Jude defends and qualifies the particular things he enjoys and he's especially annoyed when people think his preview reviews are the result of sponsor commitments. He likes what he likes, as that '70s band used to say. He's more interested in the evolution of "the hobby" than I tend to be, since I don't believe that art or cultural aesthetics evolve in any Darwinian sense, but that's his particular terrain and his excitement about the new is understandable.
