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.

Just like the t40 and any of the xxrp headphones, they do sound better with a good amp as you have pointed out. Modifying these headphones to sound as good as they do takes considerable effort as we have sourced the wood, CNC'd it, constructed the earpads out of our own design, and spent countless hours to get great bass extension and treble linearity along with reducing the distortion innate in these driver enclosures which involves opening the driver enclosure and in many cases replacing parts to match the drivers.
I'm so sorry you don't feel they are a good value, but I really appreciate you trying them out!
Also, a larger case would allow the headphones to fit snugly. That's the point of the foam insert. A protective case really should be large enough to have a foam insert between the headphones (or whatever you put inside) and the hard plastic walls. You can see this idea demonstrated in pretty much all of Pelican's product pics - see attached picture for a full, snuggly packed case that still has room for padding.
I won't have a chance to do so until tomorrow, but I'd be happy to take a picture to show the problems with the case that you've offered here.
