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...

I thought they would sell out like hot cakes
The 5000 units of HD6XX sold out in mere minutes, causing more anger and despair than the sum of Donald becoming the president; the recent South Korean protest for their president to step do; Dennis Rodman ravashing Kim Jong Un's first lady.
I recently purchased the actual HD650s for a good price of $350AUD (~260USD) during the Black Friday Sale. I don't know what the rage was about for the HD6XX when the real ma-coy can be bought for a slight premium but you get an actual carbon fiber headband which is more expensive build than the cheapen down plastic on the HD6XX. Not something that is trying to be a cheap clone of the HD650. Needless to say, I am very satisfied.
Now if only they do a cheapen down version of the Almighty Orpheus for sub $5000-$10,000, even if it sounds 90% of the Orpheus, then Massdrop has my money.
I think a bigger reason though for these not flying off the shelves is that I think outside of the audiophile community, noble is probably not well known, whereas sennheiser is a pretty well known company to a lot of people. Not to mention the coverage the 6XX got before that drop seemed to be way more than this one got.
Recently I tried out the HD650 and for the life of me, the headband looks and feel like a well made plastic...not carbon fiber though...
Yup the hd6xx is not on par in the quality department from my experience. Definateky more plastic and less of the soft touch rubbery material has been used through the build.
Ive had both the hd650 and hd6xx in my hands before albeit not at the same time in my opinion, the hd6xx feels less the original hd650.
