this speaker is dope. I love it. I have a problem with the hissing sound right now. I'm running a 1/4/ to 1/8 from my laptop...hissing annoying...

Is normal that noise when you use a computer. You have to use a noise suppressor between the computer and the speaker.

Can you give a quick review of the 750? Your correct about the subwoofer, which is definitely a plus for this model. By the way, have you read about the halo effect of this model...have you experienced it?Thank you!

I had a slight problem with the hiss. Suggestion that worked for me: Upon EVERY refill, carefully clean ALL surfaces, cracks, threads, and teflon gasket of the head piece. Tighten head to body firmly.

Yes I have the same hissing sound on my unit too. Not too excited about it either. I am from Canada, and shipping it back and forth to the USA will be too much of a hassle and too expensive to do, so I'll just keep it as is. :-(

I seldom experience a hissing or crackling. When I do I just scan and the noise goes away. This happens very infrequently to me. I rarely have any problems with hissing. I found out a while back that if you are too close to the TV you may experience a hissing. Just move a little bit away and it will clear up.

no it's not. also the plugs that go into the speaker are not good, they don't hold up. it will start to hum then you have to play with the inline until it stops. on my first one it never stopped the hum. I bought a second one and have the same trouble but it will stop after I mess with the plug....good luck on this and the sound is clear when it's not humming...mine came with a 6ft and a 15ft line....

no it is not normal. I get the hissing sound until i turn off the puck(i.e. I touch it). The hissing with power on appears to happen with most computers and speakers, until the speakers are turned off.

Relax. I ordered on Dec 29th. However, it shipped today and estimate arrive on the 8th. Can't wait to test it on my polk speakers.

Your source is doing that. Try plugging it in a different device. Hiss gone, guaranteed. (Late answer, but might help future inquirers).

I've had that problem myself but it seems sporadic. It can be frustrating . It almost seems it has a warm up period. After I play music for a while , it seems to stop doing this. I'm not the only one saying this . Some of the people who gave reviews on Amazon have this same problem . So it seems not to be a defect. If it is , there are quite a few defective speakers out there.

So far no problem, but I have used it very few times because I was unimpressed by sound quality. Have charged through the charger, not through my laptop, if that makes any difference. Will watch for problems. Thanks for heads up.

This is a bad little speaker! Totally worth the money, and, really convenient. There's a connector that you can purchase for about three dollars to hook into the laptop. Or you could try finding a cord with different sizes on each end. I recommend just getting the little converter, though. Its cheap and useful for more than just this one task. Good luck, toi toi, break a leg (whatever your tradition may be)

This thing is pretty awesome! The battery lasts for a while and it bumps pretty loud. The blue tooth is pretty sweet as well. I would recommend it. I don't really know how it compares to the other speakers you said because I have not listen to them. Good luck!

My power adapter hums when plugged in. Is that what you're hearing? I don't get any sounds from the flosser itself. It's happened since the first day that I owned it. I don't consider it to be a major issue. My solution is to just keep it unplugged when not in use.

I don't experience a hiss, but it's common if attaching speakers to internal audio cards due to electrical interference. Some computers are designed to handle this better. Similar to Rob, my MBP does that when attached to an external monitor. My PC has no problem. If you keep experiencing hissing problems and it bothers you, consider a USB sound card.

There's a little hiss I guess - no more than other powered amps - sure it can be used for computer speaker - it's just a little bulky and square. I've enjoyed having the battery powered flexibility and Multi channels and reverb fx. It can kick out really full sound too.
