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'm a BASS head and I love to hear the low, mid and high Bass without the over powering distortion. I see it has 3 level of Bass gain....I'm about to go for these...
If you're looking for AKG still, I recommend the one I got. Really CAN'T beat the price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AKG-Black-K550-Mark-II-Overhead-Closed-Back-Over-Ear-Premium-Headphones/262578776566 (I also purchased that 3-year Square Trade warranty......good deal)
I had the M50x and honestly out of the 7-8 premium headphones ($140-$400) I've tried, the K550 MK II beats them all one way or another, and the M50x to me is the worst of the bunch. Too bassy, a really closed-in/lousy soundstage.........were the 2 main issues I had with it. Comfort-wise it was great though, but I still think the K550 MK IIs are better there too.
I've written various reviews on Head-Fi. Please see link below if you'd like more info. I prefer neutral sounding headphones, though I sometimes do use the Bass Boost feature on my Oppo HA-2, but only when I feel like it's not overshadowing the other frequencies. This XD-05 does look really interesting though too, and it's cheaper, though I don't know if it's BETTER than my HA-2. Mixed opinions on here apparently.
