[HELP] Razer Seiren X with Discord poor sound

So I have gotten a new Razer Seiren X mic for Christmas. Was excited to finally have a good sounding mic as apposed to using the one built into my headset. Plan is to now buy a headset without a mic. However all my friends who I talk with on Discord say my mic sounds very bad. So bad it's worse then the mic on my Stereo Razer Kraken headset. Playing back and recording my own voice it sounds flawless and really good. However playing it on Discord it sounds like I am in a cave, muffled and almost under water like. 

 

Does anyone know of any solutions and why Discord even does this? I played with so many settings and nothing appears to fix the issue. I even tried increasing the servers bitrate as maybe that has a factor but makes no difference.

All razer's products are so bad. Especially their audio products. Also. Do you have the mic backwards? Do you have the noise suppression enabled? Turn that off.

PM/DM me if you have any questions about audio.
