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.

The number one benefit of these headphones vs. in-ears is that they exhibit ZERO microphonics (i.e. those obnoxious THUMP sounds with every step you take or any time there's a light tug on the cord). You can stomp, jump, windmill, thrust, millie-rock, or dab as hard as you want without missing a beat. The only earbuds I've found in this price range that can deliver moderate sound quality with low microphonics are Apple's Earpods, but mileage with those can vary greatly depending on the exact shape of your ear.
I WILL SAY THOUGH I worry a lot about sweat ingress. I sweat like a hot horse in heat... especially when doing indoor cardio. Think about all that biological salt water seeping into the microphone, jack, drivers and spongy earpads and the whole concept gets gross and rusty pretty fast. I'd only use these for outdoor running on cooler days or for the non-cardio days.
