Do the highs produce this 'hissing' sound when vol. turned up to more than 70%? Cause tons of people complain this issue on the jvc xtreme explosives.

I have not noticed a hiss. I don't turn my tunes up that high unless I'm mowing the lawn or something and in that environment is doubt I'd hear a hiss

Honestly, I don't have to blast them. I wear them inside my motorcycle helmet and I can hear the music clearly as well as use w/ our Helmet Blue Tooth system. I don't blast my music as I would like to enjoy hearing for the next 60 years. I haven't had any hissing or any odd noise other than music. Hope this answers your question.

Any word from anyone as to techs being able to quiet the noise? I also have the XBR4 and the noise is ever present.

My father had to turn it all the way down to volume 1. He has not complained of any high pitch squealing. Sorry I could not help more.

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.

the reason for the hiss is the high gain amplifier in the original variant of this model. when you sent your amp into their factory, they replaced it with a unit of slightly lower power [not enough for you to notice, but enough that it probably effects the actual specs slightly regarding RMS/Wattage and all that] - therefore less hiss when you crank the speakers and have no sound playing. When I had my set [amazing speakers by the way] - the hiss was only noticable if a) there was nothing playing and b) you crank it far past what I consider reasonable close range listening levels. these things go LOUD far before you hit anywhere near 9 on the dial. still, some will prefer the newer variant. the reason for the hiss is the high gain amplifier in the original variant of this model. when you sent your amp into their factory, they replaced it with a unit of slightly lower power [not enough for you to notice, but enough that it probably effects the actual specs slightly regarding RMS/Wattage and all that] - therefore less hiss when you crank the speakers and have no sound playing.

Sometimes if I turn my head at just the right angle I get the hissing and crackling. It appears to be when I am at an exact 90 degrees. Turning the transmitter to away from 90 degrees helps. Also when the microwave is in use, it makes a lot of noise.

The ones that I bought don't have any hissing sound. The sound is very clear

As others have suggested, the hiss is coming from something upstream of the speaker. I have two of these speakers and have used them extensively, and they are silent except for the signal coming in. If you are using a mixer or some other input device that requires you to set the level, pay close attention to the procedure for doing so. Improperly set levels can cause noise problems when you turn up the volume to the level you're after.

I have a slight buzz from mine's as well, really noticeable when the volume is on a lower lever (anything below 15). From what I have read, this is fairly normal since a lot of energy is used to heat the plasma. Also, since I'm only about 7 feet away from my set, that might be part of the reason why I notice it. Did the samsung tech support cost a lot to come out to install the insulating material?

I don't know, My son said his is fine. nothing wrong with the sound on his. Sorry I can't help with that. Maybe it has a defect.

There is "sound leakage". At the moment, I have them hooked up to my computer. No special amplification, just on-board Realtek. At 75-100% volume, I can slightly hear them over ambient noise (such as my heater, which is kind of loud) while standing about ten feet away. I don't know if everyone else that answered this question listens to their music at low volume, or if their headphones have some insulation that mine doesn't but in my experience, there is plenty of "sound leakage". Also, you could actually use these as speakers while you're not wearing them. They wouldn't be loud enough to entertain anyone, but you could still listen to something while they sit on your desk.

Hissing may be water inside the innards where it shouln't be. I would return it for an exchange if I were you. I hope you kept the packaging!!!! Call them first to tell them you are sending it back. This device should not make hissing sounds--loud motor noise seems to be the norm, though! --SuAnn

if you have hiss it may be the source signal not the speaker. The source maybe to high. Turn on your audio source then turn thr music all the way down. if you hear the hiss than its your source not the speaker

I never heard of them either. But it's a whole new world and I can't keep up:) As far as the noise - I obviously can hear it when it kicks in but I use the room a lot for phone calls and I never have a problem hearing over it nor do I find myself speaking louder. I'd say that after 30 seconds you don't even notice that it went into 'high drive'. Not a problem and I am sensitive to noise:)

Sorry for the delay coz this was buried in my inbox. At any rate, that is not normal. The only time you will hear sound is when you are zooming in/out which is normal for camera with manual zoom. There shouldn't be any motorized sound or hissing whatever. I am pretty sure that camera has either a defective mic or faulty video function. HTH and hopefully not too late.

I have had the same issue with 2 separate TDK A33's. Called tech support and they were very uninformed. No rest that they could tell me. Suggested that I go to another area (!) and purchase another, since it might be a "bad batch!" They really need to fix this issue. Otherwise the sound is good and I wanted to keep it, but 2 strokes and you're out.
