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...

Remember this is a Massdrop special and Focal has no need to make such a unit otherwise which would cut into their existing models sales...
People in the comments simply not taking into account that the Focal line is simply ABOVE ALL the others in the sub $2k region, in terms of resolution.
Both the Elex and the Clear start to address the signature issues of their past models, which was their only flaw.
This sale should have been a no-brainer, as the Elex is less than half price of the Clear, And at the massdrop price, there is NOTHING that could beat the Elex.
Practically all other brand's headphones under $1.8k do not have this level resolution. That means Senn HD6xx models, Fostex TH900 and lower, Klipsh new model, Denon old models, any of the MrSpeaker models, ZMF models, LCD2 etc.
The Other models are not bad by any means. They are just preferences in the upper mif-fi level. These 3 latest Utopia models enter the top end level and you guys had a chance to enter and touch this end game level at only 699...(!)
So Congratulations to those that were smart enough to enter.
When I auditioned the Elear, it was clearly better than my HD650 in my opinion. That is why I classify it as comparable to the HD800. You can have your town opinion. It's all subjective, but it appears a lot of reviewers agree with me. Just because the Utopia is top of the line Focal doesn't mean it must be compared with Sennheiser's HD800. From reviews I've read and watched, the Utopia is likely at a level above the HD800. Some call the Utopia the best cans in the world. For a pair that's more than 2x the HD800s, it should be. If you believe they're the same level, you're certainly have a right to your opinion.
What I am hating is how dam long it will take to get these... Really shouldn't take so dam long..
I also have heard those and will find out once Elex arrives.
