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.

- Detachable cables which are compatible with other AT models. I'm using the cables that I purchased for my ATH-WP900.
- Dropped the 3D wing which I always found bothersome with my eyeglasses. Replaced with a leather wrapped headband that does have the occasional creak.
- Smaller overall footprint, mainly due to the new headband.
- Comes in a wooden box instead of the case, I think I like the case better.
These are hardly portable, but with the move away from the 3D wing they are much smaller in size now. I walked around my yard the other day with them on and it wasn't awkward at all, but I'll normally switch over to a JVC wooden IEM if I'm moving about. If you have a pair of ATH-W5000, or anything in the AT wooden line for that matter, then this is your end game. Yes the price here isn't a huge discount, but you get a bunch of free Drop bucks and a manufacturer's warranty. You can probably old out for a deal in a decade when they replace them, until then close to MSRP is going to be the name of the game. Photos of my AT wooden family coming shortly.
