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...

Very well, we'll look at your statute, let's all play legal:
"319.3. (a) In addition to Section 319, a lottery also shall include a grab bag game which is a scheme whereby, for the disposal or distribution of sports trading cards by chance, a person pays valuable consideration to purchase a sports trading card grab bag with the understanding that the purchaser has a chance to win a designated prize or prizes listed by the seller as being contained in one or more, but not all, of the grab bags. (b) For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply: (1) "Sports trading card grab bag" means a sealed package which contains one or more sports trading cards that have been removed from the manufacturer's original packaging. A "sports trading card grab bag" does not include a sweepstakes, or procedure for the distribution of any sports trading card of value by lot or by chance, which is not unlawful under other provisions of law. (2) "Sports trading card" means any card produced for use in commerce that contains a company name or logo, or both, and an image, representation, or facsimile of one or more players or other team member or members in any pose, and that is produced pursuant to an appropriate licensing agreement." - http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&group=00001-01000&file=319-329
Looking at the letter of the law, these are not sports trading cards, and are thus excluded from this, the only mention of grab bags by lottery law definitions in the state of California.
Looking at the spirit of the law, this was still based on the non-value of opened and repackaged trading cards. People who ran the contests were taking sealed card packages, which have a legal value, opening the seal, scooping out the contents (probably eating the gum), grouping common cards together, and then selling those with the enticement of winning a rare card. This is a grab bag in which the MSRP of the lowest price item is greater than the cost of the grab bag, thus you are always getting something of value in the eyes of the law. The fact that some think duos are worthless they'll have to take up with MEE Audio's MSRP (I thought they were fine for the price).
As many times as you may refer to this as a raffle, sweepstakes, or lotto, it very much is none of those things.
In any case, I feel I've explored the subject from all angles to my satisfaction. It's been interesting. Thank you for the counterpoints. I recommend you contact Massdrop directly if you want their word on it and they aren't responding fast enough.

So please, do keep trying to justify yourself even more, you'll just dig a bigger grave for yourself.
