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 only good thing I've experienced with this is that I got a #0012.
Edit: Found out my amp is barely adequate to run this cans. Anyone have any experience with schiit magni 2U/3 or should I splurge out and get an iCAN SE?
At the end what I have done is to "mod" the headphones. It's a pity because the cups are sealed with double sided tape and opening it totally breaks the tape and inside there is a lot of damping work from Fostex, so makes me feel bad to "modify" it. About the mod, what I did is to add a layer of cotton in front of the ventilation grill. The size of the cotton was about 4,6cm x 2,5cm x 0.5cm and folded (two layers). Combined with the skeepskin pads, the sound is much more pleasant to me, tight bass, less veiled vocals, similar highs and really clear sound.
