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...

So why do i think its never gonna happen? Well, its all about how this unique company works. If you are interested in Schiit, there is a "book" or a series of articles over on head-fi called "Schiit Happened:
The Story of the World’s Most Improbable Start-Up", written by a cofounder of Schiit - Jason Stoddard. Its really fun (and educational) to read, especially for those who have some engineering background.
Well i read most of it and there is a section in one chapter that describes their approach to sales:
- No sales
- No hard-sell/audio fellatio
- No talking about other manufacturers’ products
So with this comming from one of the founders of Schiit its very unlikely we will ever see anything from them on Massdrop. And you know what? I'm glad it is this way. They do something, they do it good, have a unique approach and stand by it. And from my personal expirience, just buy that Schiit. Its worth it.Here is a link to the thread on head-fi. The quote i mentioned here is in Chapter 29: Worst. Customer. Ever.
