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 would like to address the issue of international shipping rates for customers here at massdrop and would like to put some feelers out about wether massdrop should/would consider creating a european warehouse for easier shipping and import tax rates for it's international customers
i am sure that this subject has been raised many times within the community and i only decided to create this thread after having to pay nearly a quarter of the price of my item (sennheiser HD6XX) on import taxes and shipping rates
massdrop in general maybe one of the best all round ideas for managing to get discounts online and it's idea of getting a number of garunteed buyers in order to get a reduced rate for products is outstanding the main problem is that it only really benefits people in it's home country of the USA the rest of us consumers are left with the headache of having to deal with our countries import taxes and VAT charges meaning that in most cases we save little to nothing when making a purchase
now obviously it is not massdrops fault how our own countries fleece us in regards to import taxes and they do even warn us that we may well incur charges but this means little if the whole fact of getting a discount on an item is taken away by these very same restrictions then it would seem almost pointless selling to intertnational customers and they would be better off just selling to USA customers only
now i do not know who dictates which shipping companies are used for the buisness but please can massdrop not ever use DHL they are by far the most reliable but also most expensive company to ever ship a parcell overseas and again this is detremental to their international customers who incur DHL's humongous price hike reliability comes at a stiff price so it seems but they are not the only company out there who ship overseas and i would like to see maybe different carriers used depending on what part of the world the item is shipping to
so i am hoping people will read this thread and comment and maybe we can get a real discussion going which may or may not lead to something positive as after my first transaction with the company has left me with a most bitter taste in my mouth and this really should not be the case
thank you
