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.

As for comparing this Zebrano to the cheap knockoff from Amazon I've had for a while, the overall quality on the Sieveking version is indeed far superior. The first knockoff I got had a massive crack in the cross section, so I sent it back and got a replacement that wobbles. I tried sanding the bottom down to make it even, but it turns out that I'm not much of a wood worker.
I'm sure all the haters out there are still going to hate this for the price, but it is a quality product that can't be replicated cheaply.
Hopefully Massdrop support can sort this out in a reasonable amount of time. I would contact Sieveking directly, since they shipped it out, but their website is in German so I don't have high hopes for that.
EDIT: so they have requested the vendor for a replacement unit for me, but will offer me a refund if the vendor is unresponsive after 30 days from requesting a replacement...

Just found that right now as I was trying to look up the other wood options that weren't pictured here at Massdrop.
