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.

- Be specific: Don't just throw out a post like "What's the best headphone?" Telling us things like your budget, your previous experiences with different gear (if you're new mention that you're new!), your preferred sound signature, your current setup, etc. will help us be able to guide you. For example, if you don't like Sennheiser and don't mention so, then don't be surprised when some people recommend Sennheiser.
- Be open-minded: If some advice sounds like snake oil to you, then by all means, consider it snake oil. But most of us here giving advice aren't here to maliciously make you try to buy into audio voodoo. The well-informed members of the community are here participating in the forums to help others have the best experience they can. If a recommendation isn't to your liking, kindly just let us know.
- Don't expect a 100% correct answer: The biggest mistake I see people make is buying gear based solely on the recommendation (or recommendations) of other people (this includes well-known reviewers!). It's nice to see that people are willing to give gear a shot based on others' positive experiences, but remember; you are the one who is going to spend the money, and you may very well hear things very, VERY differently from others! Go out and audition gear if possible: use your local hifi stores, other friends, or trade shows. If this is not possible in your area, see if you can't buy from a place that has a good return policy. It's not possible for us to hear like you; we are all just doing our best to help make your next purchasing decision one that you'll enjoy for the foreseeable future.
To those of you who have been actively participating here on the Massdrop forums, hats off to you. I hope that one day the audiophile forums here will be considered a good, friendly place for people of all audio backgrounds to ask and receive advice.
