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.

Personally I had a few headphones in the past, based on recommendation from head-fi members. Even when they describe plenty of bass, it's really not that much in reality.
I think it has more to do with music they were using to judge the headphone which could be very different from what you're listening to.
I even compared against an old, crappy pair of in-ear Samsung buds that came with a cell phone from 6 years ago and they have more bass!
Go to this site and download the frequency response test (specifically 10hz to 200hz) and the driver matching test. Once downloaded play them both and see if the audio, specifically the bass, seems off or if one driver is louder than the other. It's a possibility you may have a faulty headphone (loose connection or something). FWIW I can hear the bass around 20HZ.
Edit - I used this site: http://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_frequencychecklow.php and at my typical listening volume, I heard nothing until after 30 Hz. However, if I crank the volume, I do start hearing it at 20 Hz. So, I guess they're not defective.
I am not using an amplifier. Would using one help for that particular scenario?
