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.

That's a good thing to wish for. Problem is, no such power output rating system exists. Even RMS power ratings are not a good predictor of how a speaker will perform, and (surprise) there's no reliable standard for how those RMS power ratings are measured.
Complicating things even further is the fact that even if there was a reliable way to compare power output ratings across different amplifiers... consumers still wouldn't know what was going on. They see "50w" vs. "100w" and think "100w is twice as loud!" Well, surprise, it's only slightly louder. Because the response of the human ear is logarithmic, you actually need ten times as much power (500w in this case) in order to achieve twice the apparent loudness.
So, not only is there no standard rating scheme for manufacturers to adhere to... those output numbers still wouldn't even mean what consumers think.
