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.

In terms of how the sale went, they really couldn't care too greatly on how many people complain. They solds 5000 units in 1.5 hours WITH all these issues. Someone will always complain when you have 14,000 people lined up to buy 5,000 headphones. Yes, the people who were ready to pull the trigger at launch (like me) and didn't get a can (like me) feel cheated and rightfully pissed as hell but that's what happens when you sell cans at 1/2 - 1/3 of retail price.
I think we as an audio community here, pulled for hd8xx but at that price point don't think Senn wanted to create another line thats cheaper that what they sell it for or sale price (do new hd800s even go on sale?)
So if i were Senn, i'd be like MD get ur shit together, and we will continue to do business, otherwise, what prevents Senn from selling these at 199 themselves if they see this huge but temporary demand, so that would mean future roadmap for Senn would mean a new headphone above hd800 since they are charging a cheaper price on their old "flagship" . not like MD is big enough to demand certain things from Senn. just talk aloud though.
well the bar has been set no?
if enough branding/hype/awareness/marketing goes out, where else would you buy these if you really really wanted these? and knowing that MD will sell this XXXXXXXXXXXX amount of times, and because its just basically cosmetic differences, there's no where else to get it besides here. that said, this is their 1st of the XX line that was purely cosmetic i think? usually the XX line has custom stuff done (take this out, put this in, etc) so its more unique because Will and his team handle that.
