I think is normal, I have the same problem. Is the worst product that I bought.

Not at all.. I bought these Mics knowing the reputation of AKG. They held up to there name, they are terrible Mics. Return em and save yourself time and hassle and buy SHURE.

Move the microphone receiver box to another location, or move the antennas to a different position, and see if that helps. Chances are that the noise you hear is interference from some other electronic device close by.

Two of the settings are sound active, one will go completely off, and one stays going slowly when there is no sound, It has a built in Mic

I ultimately returned the pair I bought. The headphones worked, but the mic on my pair didn't. I probably had a bad set. I bought a plantronics headset, and was much happier.

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.

Ok. I'm probably going to sound silly but, did you plug it into the Aux. Also there is an on and off switch on the mic.. other than that, I don't know. Ours worked fine. It might be a bad one.

Mine works well, make sure everything is connected correctly, and that you have the microphone away from as much interference as possible.

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 just bought it & have Windows 7. It works fine except it has a hum that I can't get rid of. I've played with the gain button & the mic volume, but it's still there. Any suggestions?

I am going to guess your mic is phantom powered? if so i would see if it says that in its description, I really am not sure otherwise

my mic works perfectly with no issues... if u tried messing with the settings and it still doesnt work it might just be a faulty product....

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).

not sure exactly, but have you tried using a different cable and/or mic to see if the hum goes away? perhaps one of them is faulty.

I had no problem, you might want to check that the connector is set correct. You might want to play with the settings off your mic also. I will also do a couple of test settings and if I can duplicate the issue I will let you know.

Mine produce a little noise too. Actually,I just bought a second unit and just send it to the technician since it move my left speaker when it turned on.

Idk, I Didn't Change Anything, Just Plugged Them In & They Worked Great. Haven't Had A Problem With One Working The Other. Maybe They Sent Me One Of Each, Not Sure

All of what has already been said, AND, the headphone link is very noisy. Mine is anyway. Buzzes...hums... Same with two different inputs, two different power sources, no matter where it is placed. It's not an enviromentally induced noise...it's the converter.

This is the XLR version (as Matthew pointed out, the USB version says it in the title). I haven't had any problems of hissing or background noise with this mic, the internal noise of the mic is actually superb. In Matthew's case, maybe it could be a defective mic (that should be exchanged under warranty), or a poor quality or damaged pre-amp, which is often the case.
