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.

There are several really nice things about these headphones: Shure customer support is amazing (they transitioned me from the E500 to the SE530 to the SE535, all free of charge, due to the cables fraying at the monitors; they replaced a crushed monitor for half price when it was definitely my fault...), they have replaceable cables (so you can get rid of the Shure memory wire if you don't like it, get them balanced if you desire, or add an inline remote / microphone), and there's an awesome first-party silicone sleeve from Senaphonics (that I highly recommend purchasing) that basically makes these into a CIEM.
If you were on the fence, I can definitely recommend picking them up.
For horns and guitars, these things are absolutely fantastic. Listen to some Holst and they'll make you fall in love. Throw on some classic rock and just listen to the guitars. As far as what I'd recommend for classical music? The Noble 4 (or 4C / 4S) would be my go-to recommendation, followed by the 1964ears V6 (assuming you're okay spending a couple hundred more on customs / get the unadvertised universal fit model). If you're looking for roughly the same price range, I'd recommend the ER4S (although I don't personally like them; too anemic, lacking in bass, and analytical for my tastes). If you have unlimited budget, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Noble Kaiser 10. It can make literally anything you throw at it sound amazing (genre wise; it won't make those 128 kbps mp3s sound any better).
