I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

So now I'm looking to try different amps with it. I've got a Fiio A3, a CI Audio VHP-1, and a vintage Parasound P-HP850 preamp with a dedicated headphone amp. I even have a Avantree Clipper Pro Bluetooth transmitter and tried it. Amazing sound. Anyway, I want to go the tube route this time so it should be fun researching it all.
I have too many IEMs to list here but for actual cans, I have the Grado SR325's and the Sennheiser HD595's, both over 15 years old so I don't listen much to them anymore. I can't speak for the other cans you listed but I guess it's what you want in sound presentation. Had I not purchased the 612's, I may have jumped on these K553's but closed cans scare me and I don't like risking greater bass that could end up being a muddy lower midrange mess.
