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.

What is inferior is the horrible user documentation. I'd gone through it before ordering, but it turned out even worse than expected. It's apparently written by someone whose native language isn't English, and who commits the greatest technical writing sin of all -- assuming the reader already understands how to use the product.
The failure to explain the distinction between the USB Host and USB connections is annoying. Worse is its failure to explain why all the functions of Sound Blaster Central aren't available (particularly Crystal Voice) . It's garbage documentation, written by someone who thinks that because he can use a word processor, he's a qualified technical writer. Be prepared for a long learning curve.
The optical cable supplied is "defective". Like too many so-called TOSLINK cables, it doesn't click into place. And as for cables, the manual says the USB Host cable isn't supplied. Wrong. The orange charging cable works just fine.
The most-important part of any product is the user manual, yet it receives the least attention from most manufacturers, because producing a good one takes time and money. Very few companies get it right.
