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.

SQ change - The bass of my songs now sound uncontrolled and bloated - Harsher highs(like the stock HD800's treble wasn't harsh enough), - Lifeless vocals. the vocals are now has a metallic feel to it. both female and male What's worse, there's almost no instrument separation in my tracks now, everything sound muddled together. With the stock cable, I can distinctly hear different instruments playing. I switch tested back and forth many times and the difference is obvious.
Now I know the whole lot of you think cable shouldn't make a difference in sound quality, (blah blah. ooooh audiophile snake oil etc etc). Can't blame you. I thought the same way until I did a hands on comparision. In my experience it DOES make a difference and I'll put it simply. If you can't distinguish the stock cable sound from this rubbish cable sound, then you don't have good enough ears to appreciate high-end headphones like the HD800 in the first place. I'm gonna put this cable up for sale on craigslist. Obviously I'm not gonna tell the buyer the real reason I'm selling this. XD Wish me luck in selling this cable and finding one with the same or better SQ to the stock. Peace.
Any time a so-called "audiophile" has taken a real double-blind A-B comparison test, they have been unable to discern between different cables.
Here's a tip: think before you open your mouth or write down unintelligent arguments then defend by attacking someone presenting FACTS!
