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.

I have the original at it was good when it first came out. I'm have recently tried several of the alternatives out there. There are better sounding BT workout headphones, Plantronics BackBeat Fit, Jabra Rox and JLAB Epic Bluetooth to name a couple I recently tried. All offer new Bluetooth version and most have aptX. Not to mention are all less expensive. How they fit you will be a personal matter. I've had them all and settled on the BackBeat Fit as my overall best option (with JBL Endurance tips for great isolation and sound quality). They all sound better than the Bluebuds with superior bass response for less money.
I will say when my left ear bud stopped working I got a replacement from Jaybird in about a week or so after sending them in. That's worth something. SO its a good company from my experience, they just haven't really improved the product to keep up with the competition (better sound quality, BT 4.x, AptX support).
Jaybird still has the recognition from the original, but I think they are too expensive for what they offer.
just something to consider.
