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.

My setup: 320kbps MP3s or FLACs => Schiit Modi 2 => Schiit Magni 2.
I'm mostly a metal head, but listen to just about everything under the sun, aside from rap/hip-hop stuff. Classical, jazz, mo town, funk, blues, metal, modern country... all in my collection and gets play time.
I usually don't buy into "burn in", so I'm not convinced I'll hear any difference in the long run. These are not at all bad cans, and I'll be keeping them in the collection. They drive easily on portables, though they definitely benefited from my Schiit setup (not sure if that's the DAC shining through, or just being hit with a bit more power).
For EDL, I actually still prefer the 7506s over the K553's, which surprised me. I need to get new pads on my 7506s... these are about 15 years old now and I don't even know how many hours of playtime. Thousands quite easily...
