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.

Ok ribbing aside these are closed back headphones that will provide you with performance that might make you mess your pants if you have a good audio source. I suggest checking out Z Reviews on Youtube he's a wealth of information when it comes to headphones, amps, dac's, etc. You can also reach out to someone like myself who would be happy to guide you towards headphones that you will love and fit your budget.
Seriously though check out Z Reviews on Youtube and in the description of his videos go to his reddit page where he has guides that will help you choose headphones.
Watch At Your Own Risk lol.
Unfortunately for me, I now have the DarkVoice 336i and paired with my HD650s its phenomenal. However, I've already purchased new tubes lol. Thankfully this is a cheaper alternative to buying high quality headphones. $50 for two new tubes and keeping my HD650s in use. Love it.
I actually enjoy the tube sound more than the solid state amp with the HD650s. Drops the highs a bit and everything sounds so warm. I wouldn't say I'm treble sensitive, but my ears do fatigue when listening to the HD650s for long periods of times because it can just bring out the clearest highs from the vocals. My issue is the 5 decibel drop in bass, even though the HD650s aren't bass cans, its still a noticeable drop so I bought a pre-amp tube that SHOULD bring the bass back a bit, I'm curious to find out. Either way, it is an amazing pairing. I don't believe the Fostex Purplehearts will work and I know the mk3s don't work well. Bass is bloated and doesn't sound good, also has something to do with the Mk3s being low impedance. There are mods to the DarkVoice to fix this issue, but eh, I'm okay without it for now.
