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.

One previous commenter thought the finish on the metal had been scraped off, when in reality it is just textured and shiny, catching a bright highlight (see second photo).
How do they sound to you?
In a perfect world, I'd use an equalizer (like maybe the Schiit Loki) to bring down the mid-bass a touch and bump up the mids & table a hair. But I'm used to listening to the AKG K553, which is a much different animal. Maybe I'll try the suede ZMF headphone pads to get that effect.
Thanks for the heads up, @A_Typical_Drop!

Whether it made a difference or not though, it's not something that should have got through a really simple QC check. The picture that showed up here with the really crooked gimbal mount also had the paper issue, and was one of these newer clear wire versions. It seems like QC flew out the window for whatever batch those are coming out of.
