Is there a hissing noise in the background when the device is on? (I just got one and trying to determine whether my unit is defective, just got it)

Haven't had any problems , I think you may have a defective unit. Hope this helps

I have never had a hissing noise from my unit. The only sound from my unit is the voice giving me directions.

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 agree with 2ownlife's answer. My Soundlink 2,unit made that blip noise from day 1 right out of the box when I plugged it in with the OEM charger. I wouldn't worry about it as I believe it is normal operation.

As Jeffrey...Yes, I have the same hissing sound on my unit too... I am from Canada, and I cannot shipping it back to the USA since It will be too expensive to do so, so I'll just keep it as is.

Could be cable / power point issue..the XLR cable will cut off the hum..( Balanced cable )..

When mine was first installed, my electrician said I would hear some noises (something like a popping noise) after the unit shuts off and that would be normal. I'm not sure why. I've had mine installed for over 7 months and have not had any issues with it. I don't know for sure if it no longer makes the noise, or if it stops after a time.

Mine only makes the noise for a few seconds when I first plug it in. Other than that it is quiet for me.

mine doesn't hum. I wish I could help. Maybe it is the model. I had one, that i loved, and one day, it just quit working. They didn't make that model anymore, and I had to cut the plug, and send it to them, and then they sent me the most similiar model. But I really loved my old one. It was beautiful. This one works great, but is not as aesthetically pleasing to the eye. :-(

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.

I am not having this issue; the one I have works fine with no feed back noise. Try exchanging it. Sorry for the delay in responding.

I don't experience this issue with my unit. Wonder this is due to faulty issue with the unit

It is a bad unit. I had to send mine back.I just read the answer below mine, did you put the ferrite choke on the unit on the power cord? Hello! This unit should be ready to go out of the box. That hiss or hum could be heard over spoken words too. If you can send it back.

I have the EXACT same problem. I use them on my laptop but the first thing I noticed was the hiss. I was shockingly disappointing and tried the other headphone outlet but to the same effect. Its just not one bud, but both, so I'm guessing its not like a damage issue.I'm not a sound blaster and usually have my music playing kinda low so the hiss is always noticeable.Right now I'm contacting Sennheiser about the issue.

I have not had that problem, love mine, sorry I was not any help, sounds like a defect or an impedance problem to me.
