Help! I think my headphones are broken.

I recently upgraded to hyperx cloud headphones from a cheap pair.
The cheap pair had a sound card and were USB headphones and had virtual boosts for bass and stuff preactivated.
The hyperx ones are normal stereo ones and don't have any virtual surround sound or sound card. Also they are a bit low on bass.

Now I felt pretty wierd, and at times in some songs (like new york City from Chainsmokers) I feel that the audio is scratched and has some static. It may be a preset mindset that I had about the sound not being as buff and polished as the old ones. Has anyone else also felt the same or is my pair really defective? I need to report a defect within the next 12 hrs if any exists.

Thanks for reading :)
 
Solution
If there's a static it's most likely some sort of creeping short circuit somewhere. If you have something else to test them on you'll know if it's the headphones or your PC.
