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...

Would still love to see MassDrop ace that one - say at a $150 target price. That would be nigh on irresistible for us audio nuts / wannabes - right now I already have 2, nope 3 sets of headphones and only one head, so buying the X2's isn't at $200 a priority. Drop that price and I'll step in line along with all the other Mass Drop bargain audio addicts.

Wanted to make one other point here. Am getting really concerned about the rise of fakes in the electronics industry - it's not been impossible for fakes to enter the formerly legitimate purchase paths - after all it's happened with fake prescription drugs. This is somewhat exacerbated by Philips in the US, where there seems to be a scarcity of product and purchase paths. So the point here is that we all love to get a deal for great gear, but just as important is to make sure you're not getting a fake. Right now, I see Philips US directing us to Amazon ($237), Target ($300), Walmart ($237) and "Quill.com" ($340) - so if you really want to be sure that you're not going to get a fake, maybe buying direct from one of those vendors (vs their marketplaces) or MD might justify the higher prices.
