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.

Here is another one by Topping: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/topping-dx7
Look at the rear panel on these speakers--there are TWO different kinds of jacks. Then look at the back panel of the TEAC component linked here. I use the multi-pronged microphone jacks with integrated cables (cords). Cables with integrated jacks sold separately on Amazon, eBay, Guitar Center, possibly BestBuy. Totally worth the investment.
Keep in mind, these are POWERED speakers--meaning, they plug into a wall with their own separate power cords. The stereo I had when I was a kid had an integrated power amp inside the receiver, and the speakers were PASSIVE--meaning, all you did was connect the non-electric wire from the receiver to the speaker without plugging the speakers into the wall. BIG difference, so these speakers will not work with most of the stuff you see on Amazon or at BestBuy.
@Chevyguy since these are powered monitors, you need to only connect your phone with the correct cable and they will work just fine. As good as an external DAC? Maybe/maybe not, but if you're a casual listener, you'll be hard pressed to find a difference.
With regards to what kind of cable you need, since this is a set of two speakers, you need a 3.5 mm TRS to 6.35 (M+M) cable. This will carry stereo audio and terminate in L and R channels. Already included in the box.
If you're curious, this is what such a cable looks like: https://www.ghentaudio.com/part/d10.html
