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...

Early this morning we received the below email from Jan Sieveking of Sieveking Sound.
Out of respect for Jan’s requests, we’re canceling this drop. To be clear, Massdrop does not manufacture these stands and we’ve forwarded this email to our legal representatives to review it’s validity.
We’re sorry to do this but all orders will be cancelled and you will not be charged.
Thanks for your support and patience while we work to source an alternative product at a similar price point. As well, we encourage the community to start a poll for any products that you believe fit this criteria.
We appreciate all the support the community has shown.
“Dear Sir or Madam, it has been brought to my attention that currently Massdrop is selling an Omega style headphone stand. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/wood-omega-style-headphone-stand?s=Omega
This is a direct copy of a trademarked design and Massdrop is offering a counterfeit product manufactured in China. I have attached a simple PDF print file with the registration at the OAMI which is the international body taking care of design patents like this one. As you can see it is valid international patent that has been filed in 2009 and is valid till 2019 and we will likely prolong the patent after that.
This is to inform you that I see your commercial offer of the Chinese counterfeits as an infringement of this design patent and that I am ready to take legal action with our legal representation in the US if you should continue this offer. I am not a person who likes hitting other people over the head with legal action and thus I am writing to you first to give you a chance to simply stop this before this becomes an expensive mistake for your young company.
I have no problem with you ending this purchasing matter with a statement that it has been brought to your attention that the design is patented internationally and thus the import and sale of the fake Omegas is not legal.
With regards from Germany,
Jan Sieveking (Designer of the Omega and Owner of Sieveking Sound GmbH & Co. KG)
