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.

$380 for the CH 800 S is what I'm seeing everywhere right now. $320 for the CH 700 S. $240 for the CH 650 S.
Piss take comments on this cable being expensive are null imo. I won't comment on how it sounds due to not owning one. However, if you have a balanced amp and dac, you should see benefits from running fully balanced (which this cable can provide) depending on the amp and its design. I suppose that if you don't own a balanced capable setup, an HD800 and/or your stock cable isn't damaged or lost, save your money.
Not much else to say. OFC vs. OCC, OCC wins objectively. Whether or not you can hear the difference, that's up to the individual.
note: you can always reterminate the stock cable. ex: http://www.head-fi.org/t/490316/re-terminating-the-sennheiser-hd-800-cable-to-balanced#post_6620771

Massdrop should pay more attention to those Japanese products and vendors. ADL belongs to Furutech. They are one of the the main manufacturers of cable. http://www.adl-av.com/products/cables/headphone/
