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...

Our server records show he edited his posts. That said, I was checking the discussion before he made those edits and he was mostly concerned about some parts not matching up with the original BOM ( rightfully so, same stuff as @millifoo laid out and I addressed in my last big post) and the manufacturing quality of these units (being made in China vs America).
While I don't expect there'll be much of a difference in manufacturing quality, I do think there will always be people who are willing to pay a premium for an equivalent (and often better) American made product.
We're working with a Chinese audiophile company to make this O2 as affordable as possible to get more people into Audiophile gear and grow the community. I got into this stuff when I was ~12 (I never give out my Head-Fi handle because most of my first posts were literally "I'm 12 what is this" first day on the internet garbage) and it's made my life better in lots of ways. For me, the more people who care enough to invest in some decent audio gear, the better, and I'm excited to be working on projects that help lower the barrier of entry.
Anyway, long answer to a simple question, but ask anyone at Massdrop, they'll tell you brevity is not one of my redeeming features.
Confirmed.
No dissrepect but from what I can see, all of you Massdropers are sales & marketing people with no industrial eng / project mgt experience. So even you do give us a verbal confirmation, it wouldn't inspire much confidence.
EDIT: especially because we are talking about some unknown China's manufacturer here.
Even within our buying and marketing team, everyone here have years of industry experience prior joining the company. Needless to say, we are all very aware of the work, effort, and resources needed to make this product great.
We definitely have a very strong bench within the organization. In fact, the Massdrop product manager that's leading this project holds degree in computer and electrical engineering, as well as multiple years of experience in semi-conductor industry. Just an interesting trivia I thought I'd throw out there :)
We wouldn't offer this product with a 2 year warranty if we are not confident about the built quality or the reliability of this amplifier.
