Audio from my Sennheiser 400 was unusable because of the self-noise, a constant buzzing sound. Am I going to have the same problem with this one?

Mine has no discernible self noise that I can perceive on recordings with the mic and a Fostex FR2LE.

I also experienced the hissing/white noise sound with my CX300-B earbuds. Because of this noise, I felt I had to turn the volume up louder than I wanted. Also, when moving the cord, it sent noise into the earbuds. I own a pair of Sennheiser HD 555 earphones that I have been amazed with. The sound quality is unbelievable. Perhaps the bar was set too high, and I expected the same quality from the CX300, but it didn't happen. I have since returned them to Amazon, and am now searching for something better.

Yes the buzz is normal and annoying. If you are unlucky it becomes static that overwhelms the music you are listening to.

I started running with them and now the headphones have a crackling sound like static. I'm pretty sure the problem is, like somebody already mentioned it, where the cable attaches to the 3.5mm plug.

No, the buzzing sound is always on, unless you are on mute. I had mine for a couple of months now and it seems to have gotten worse

As others said, the quality on this headphones are great, so probably the issue is in the port of the PC. Please try two things: first try with other headphones in the same PC and compare, and then try your Audio-technica in other PC. This way you can isolate the issue and only then contact your audio store to review the headphones.

Only if you want the audio to have all sorts of buzz and noise on it... For the cheapest available "acceptable" quality (for casual use) interface, I would suggest the Behringer UCA202. It's not great, but at least it's relatively clean-sounding, especially compared to this.

Yeah, i have the same buzzing noise. I took the car to a car-audio professional store and they told me that the sound is from the device, not from the car because sounds even with the engine off.It starts to annoy me a lot, if you know what could be the solution i will appreciatte.

I'm not sure that connection carries sound. It didn't for me either, but an audio cord from the headphone jack will fix that problem.

Nope, more likely than not the buzzing is coming from your output source. Try playing audio from a different source and see what happens.

Only own one pair. I don't have any issues with buzzing. I'm sure you've tried, but it's worth asking: 1. Did you try them from a different source, amp, cable?2. Make sure the cables is inserted fully. I noticed one of the cables had a very snug fit. Hope you can solve the issue.

I have heard from those I talk with on skype that the mic is buzzing a lot, and picks up background noises. It could be that my sound card isn't good enough to handle it, or that some of my settings are wrong (though I have tried to fix it for a while without luck).

Just tried it with my Sennheiser PMX 100 and HD280 pro headphones and got nothing. But I have noticed at times some strange static through the headphones as I move around at my desk. I can't pin it on the ICON, but it only happens when using it... so maybe that does pin it on the ICON...

No hum. I've owned this unit for over six months. All outputs, including the headphones, have been dead silent. Have you checked for ground loops? -John

I had them for few months, then something went loose in the right earpiece. Now I have crackling noises all the time.Oh, and I lost the music cable. I had to prepay for a new one (approximately 60 USD), then it took the full six months until I got a new one. And what is a headphone without music!?
