I just tried these in a Zoom H2's external microphone jack and I don't get any signal. Are they defective or am I?

If you use the 1/8" (like the headphone)conector to plug in your recorder you wont be able to make it work because you need a cable converter from 1/8" male stereo plug to dual xlr male conector

Plug them into a USB port for power and then your audio out jack - make sure that the volume disk on top of the right one is turned up all the way. if you still are not getting sound, check and make sure that the volume on your computer isn;t turned down or off.

Try...http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=437&CatName;=Headphones+%26+Headsets&prodID;=20616&prodName;=WP-350Also if you have tried Pressing and holding the Multifunction button located on the Right Earcup for more than 5 second, and it does not give the light or make any sound then you might have to return them. Try charging them again and make sure the red charging light is ON. Maybe they didn't charge...? Otherwise defective. Mine are awesome for the $. GL

The H4N phantom power only works when there are XLR ins, so the workaround I use is +24V phantom power in the H4N settings, feeding the mics into a Y-splitter to 1/4" stereo, and I feed those to impedance adapters, female 1/4" to the male XLR's (x2). I bought these products to get the job done, http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-YMP-434-Female-8-Inch-Breakout/dp/B0010D0HO0/ and 2x http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Waves-Female-Balanced-Adapter/dp/B0002E53O2/ And no I don't endorse any of these.

If someone could help with a solution, would be awesome.. when i plug the mic on my H4N using the XLR cable, it gives a lot of noise for me too, but when i use it with USB on my pc, it's perfect.

I tried this and it did not work. I plugged the headphones into the microphone jack on a desktop computer running Windows XP. I went to the control panel to test if the mic was working and it was not. It doesn't seem to work this way. But I have been using the headphones for quite some time now and they are excellent. Very good sound! And the mic works great during calls also.

I had 0 success trying to use my older H2 as an external microphone for other devices. Perhaps they've adapted the H2n to be able to do this.

There is a volume scroll .scroll to the right and it should get louder if not then you might have a defective pair

Did you accidentally plug them into the microphone port? I do this on my iMac all the time.

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).

I've had the same problem since I plugged it in. A small buzzing sound that gets louder. If I tap the earpiece where the mic arm is attached it goes away briefly. I sent that pair back, but the new set does the exact same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

I am listening to these headphones right now on my Lenovo.The button however does nothing in the computer and my computer has a separate jack for Headphones and Mic so the mic isnt working the way it does with my phone.

I discovered similar issues with my recently purchased HA400. It was the headphones!!! Not every headphone, but the type with microphone built in, designed for use with phones. It seems that some (all?) adapters do not correctly place their internal contacts for the special plug that comes with these headphones. Instead, the signal is shorted out and makes it appear that the amp is broken. Happened to me until I figured it out.

Check switch on the middle of cable. Check options in your operating system. Also don't forget that you have to use both connectors to make mic working. If all of this is OK, I will expect that you have problem with headset.

Hi, Veronica. First you should probably check to see if they headphone jack is inserted completely. However, from what you just described, it could be possible that they are either broke or it is a manufacturing issue, because the pair I had also had the same issue after a few months.

They are broke. Mine works great on both sides. Make sure it is fully plugged in though. If the connector is not all the way in, you will only hear one side.

Go into your computer settings to the output setting and make sure it is set to your headphones. Also, check the mic settings and check external mic (your headphones mic).
