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.

Anyway, my thoughts on these after owning them and using them daily for 2 weeks:
Awful.
Extremely sibilant. Poor bass response. Reminded me a lot of the shure srh940
As to the sound, I was not impressed. Certainly not as good as the Shure E4C (single driver) that I was trying to replace due to cable failure. A little better bass I guess than the E4C. It seems that Shure figured out what they wanted to do in the 535 model, and then hobbled the 425 by removing drivers to get to a different price point. What they ended up with is an IEM where parts of the sound seem to be missing.
The 425 sounded so tinny
Anyway best of luck to your searches for good IEMs. The fibass were awful. Shure 846 was really big. Same issue with the Roxannes. I just decided to get customs because I can't be bothered switching out every month anymore trying to get a slightly better fit with a different model of universals or tips.
