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...

Massdrop seriously misses more often than it hits now, especially if you're Canadian.
MD offers the factory-authorized, warranted, correct, No. American #40 M50W with immediate availability, and at a nice savings from the former $299 and a MSRP closer to $400.
Not to mention there's no justification in MassDrop's shipping charges when they're informally and affectionately known as MolassesDrop.
You insist that some of the products are 220v/50hz; they very rarely are, especially if you're buying from specifically a north american vendor. You say MD offers factory-authorized, warranty covered products, there have been instances where MD products are not covered under warranty of any, or used refurbished products with only a small mention in the subtext. Buyer beware and check the fine print.
MSRP is a total sham, and don't try to tell me otherwise because I've worked in the retail industry and I know how much store cost is vs. MSRP, especially for higher end products. Additionally, the MSRP for this product in specific is $319, with $229.99 being the discounted price, and with the low low shipping cost of $159.75 to Canada I'm saving a massive... negative $70. Oh boy, what a steal! Again, this is without taking into account the very likely fact that we'll be slapped with unannounced import fees upon delivery.
Very often the stuff on mass drop I can find off amazon for cheaper, not even taking into account I get free two day shipping from my prime membership (which as a Canadian, Prime membership for a year often costs less than shipping for a SINGLE PRODUCT from here).
I'm not attacking massdrop, because they do indeed offer products at a discount. Just how they treat Canadians in general.
Duties, brokerage, and custom's fees also add significantly. Again, discuss with your dealer.
Obviously price tiering is a normal, legitimate factoring of the costs of distributorships, local dealers, sales and warranty support, etc. This is no small thing when 220v/50Hz product ships thousands of miles direct from an unauthorized reseller, as many have found out the hard way. 100% of the HiVi product available from MD is covered by local warranty; contact them with any concerns.
At the end of the day, MD and its brands depend on value and service. Any comparison must naturally factor all costs, not least being authorized, correct product, availability, warranty, service, and support. No markets are being singled out and treated differently.
