The unit does have a hiss sound which is not too noticeable during playback.I tried a few things to alleviate the hiss to no avail.

I hear absolutely zero noise. I dont think it even has a fan? One thing tho: I had an older model and the dsp chip died at some point. Repair was going to be 400 bucks so i had to trash it and buy a new one. Not really cool.

I replaced 2 already and never had the noise. I would send it back for a replacement, to be on the sure side!

sounds like it has a problem, there should be no noise coming from unit, contact manufacturer or place of purchase.

Sorry I don't know. I purchased for resale and the customer has not mentioned any excessive noise

There could be many reasons for the hiss...have you troubleshooted main things like volume, mic setup in windows, tried another mic...? If all mics are same, then yes maybe so, otherwise, it could be mic, software, settings, where u plug it, compatibility etc..... I bought this as i had no sound from built in sound card, but my mic worked fine. I have an hp webcam with built in mic. This sc has software that you can make yourself sound like you are in a small room, big room, outside, etc... it plays my music, sounds fantastic. Might be worth trying just for that :D

I am also not an audiophile but have not noticed any degradation . Like the other stated, it's Amazon- wire it up and give it a close listen before you close it up.

Yes there is a hum (slight). What I hear is constant; no matter what volume I am set at. I actually had to exchange my first set due to amplifier 'popping'. Again, volume setting did not matter. I have decided not to let this hum problem bother me because it is inaudible when something is playing.

No, I bought a new one from another website. I have one new one and a used one that I bought here through Amazon. The used one sounds just like new.

I just got a pair from seller "clearav" for $39. The sound is tinny and completely bass-free, so I think I got ripped-off as well. I see they charge a 30% restocking fee, which also leads me to believe these aren't the best folks to be dealing with. I'm going to return them, take my medicine, and chalk it up as another lesson learned.

I am going through the same problem that you have and listen to the same type of music (classical music and folk music) and have been told the same thing. I have a friend who has the same system as me and I used one of his speakers in place of my one malfunctioning one and I don't hear the hiss anymore. I'm in the middle of a troubleshooting argument with their staff right now, and I fear that they would be wasting my time and theirs in insisting it is the amp in the back.

I don't think so.. I never had too! As for the noise. I get the same think but only on 1 of the 4 that I bought. Possible defective..

Yes- It's probably normal not a defect. I've had similar appliances in the past and they all make a hum.

No, I don't have that problem. I never noticed a fan running until I read this email. Now, I can hear a slight hum occasionally. But nothing you should ever notice. Yours is not right.

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 don't have any noise. I suspect the cable that connects the right to the left is not plugged in, faulty, or the Jack is loose. They should be clean.
