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.

Same goes for balanced cables. When would making such a move be "worth" it ?
So for example - most folks start by taking their source (Record player, CD player, Computer) plugged directly into the stereo receiver and then that goes to a decent set of speakers or headphones. The immediate reaction is to upgrade headphones or speakers because those are the most visible in the chain - but more often than not, better sound will be achieved by cleaning up the source material - upgrade your digital files to the best available, get a good DAC and it will do WONDERS for your overall experience.
But in the end - don't listen to anybody. Everyone has advice on audio stuff, but you need to let your ears and wallet do the deciding. This can just, hopefully help you get started.
As for beats - no need to worry about me being disappointed there hahaha . Definitely have lots of research and testing to do, but hopefully one day I can join the squad. haha
I have not had any experience with them, but massdrop regularly posts some highly regarded DAC/Headphone amp combinations. That might be a less expensive way to test stuff out.
