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...

Lots of ground to cover on this one.
We're very fortunate to have Ultimate Ears onboard for their second CIEM drop. The first was the Reference Monitor for Black Friday. Here, you have the 18 Pro to celebrate the summer. The pricing is always crazy amazing on these, so be sure to get in while the getting is good.
Having heard both the 18 Pro and UERM on multiple occasions, I give the edge to the 18 Pro for musical engagement. If you like a toe tapping good time, it's a fantastic companion that you can't go wrong with.

Quick Logistical Breakdown: 1. After the drop ends, you send in your ear impressions to Massdrop. 2. Massdrop collects the impressions received within 2 and 4 weeks of the drop end date, and ships them in batches to UE. 3. UE turns them around, ships back in 2 batches to Massdrop. We then ship with tracking to all members that participate. 4. Any members with impressions that are not received more than 4 weeks after the drop end date will be refunded immediately and no longer able to participate in the drop.
Neat Stuff for this Drop: 1. If you stop by UE Headquarters in Irvine or Massdrop HQ in downtown San Francisco, we will take your ear impressions for the drop absolutely free of charge. Make sure to make a reservation. 2. Once the drop ends, you're required to send pictures of your impressions in before mailing them. This is a quick check so that we're sure your impressions meet all the criteria necessary.
Please only pick ONE of the faceplate options at checkout, and check that the faceplate you're interested in is a different category in the other two (option at the very bottom). That should be it for now! Will update this post as more info rolls in.
What I'm wondering is what will be done for those that already have impressions with UE, especially those that were part of the UERM drop...
