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.

- You need to actually set the unit up, it installs into windows in the higher bitrate 2.0 mode. You need to set it up so you can actually use it in 7.1
- You have two separate devices for audio - one can be adjusted for 7.1 effects, and one is used for voice. This gives you hardware volume mixing of the two devices when set up right, but make sure you're not listening to game audio through the voice channel!
- There is a known issue with the units where they will occasionally shut down after you boot your PC, and you need to unplug it and replug it to get it back on. Sometimes this is fixable with bios USB settings, other times not. It worked faultlessly on my AsRock board, but i need to unplug and replug after most boots on my MSI...
- As mentioned elsewhere in this list, it's only bus powered. It does have the connections to feed it through to an amp if you need (I think the Schitt Magni Heresy would look nice with a GSX1000 stacked on it)
This is a great device. If you are using it for the things it was meant for. As someone primarily gaming and consuming streamed media on a PC, this unit is a huge step up from a normal "gamer" audio setup. Beware if you're not an audiophile though... this may end up being your "gateway" device!
