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.

I really like the wide sound stage they create and how full the sound they produce is. I can hear each individual instrument very clearly. They are great speakers for everything that doesn't require a subwoofer.
That said, it's expected. Shake-your-house-down-bass is a job for a subwoofer. These speakers meant for accurate reproduction of sound, I get that.
But we can all agree that these speakers aren't a complete sound system. They require a subwoofer unless they are used only for music production. This means they also require a piece of hardware to drive them and a subwoofer at the same time and here's where it gets tricky. Off of the top of my heart I can't think of what I can use to plug those speakers and a subwoofer into and still be able to drive it all from a headphone jack...
I am upgrading Alexa Dot for Google Chrome Cast audio for a much better sound quality soon but I don't expect that to make any significant difference in amount of sub base these put out.
I don't pretend to be an audiophile or chase the purest of sounds. I just need a system that I can listen to streaming music with reasonable accuracy and be able to cranck it up a little so guests can dance.
So I am going to be buying a subwoofer at some point soon and likely some more hardware once I figure out whats needed.
Just wanted to share my experience. Hope this helps someone!
Now that you've gotten proper balanced outputs. Most subs are set up to take the stereo signal from the DAC and then send it on to the speakers. That way you can set the crossover on the sub without any additional hardware. JBL actually makes a sub for their LSR line. The JBL LSR310S. It has XLR (mic) and 1/4" TRS inputs and XLR outputs.
So if you get that sub you can use whichever outputs the interface has XLR or TRS to the sub, and then get a pair of XLR cables to go from the sub to the speakers.
