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.

First impressions review! Just running off a scarlett 2i4
1. Comfort
Damn, these things feel good, and despite being heavier than my other circum-aural's, I feel like I'm going to get less hot and scratchy, clamp pressure is nice and light, a relief with my giant head and weight distribution makes me feel like i'm wearing nothing at all... nothing at all...
2. Sound (no burn in)
Dark, moody and warm. Soundstage isn't that expansive, but everything is placed perfectly, like a small intimate all acoustic gig. Vocals on these are nothing short of spectacular, male and female, always real and standing 10 feet in front of you. Negatives? possibly a bit too dark sounding, the mids and treble aren't lacking, just nicely balanced and the bottom end isn't sloppy, just a bit overbearing at times.
3. Aesthetics & Build
5 shades of Black and dark leather, industrious and sleek. Can't say I'm that enthused about the cable that comes with it or the stupid lock thing massively limiting what 3rd party cables will slide in far enough, i also worry that I'm going to spear one of the ear wire loops with my finger one day when taking them off and do some damage, time will tell.
4. Value
I'll be using these over k701's, mdr 1r and hd 650's at home, but they will probably never go on any adventures due to their bulk and amp needs. Definitely a great purchase if you're after your first pair of quality headphones or looking to add to your collection, sound great and are pretty quirky!
