New purchase, high pitched whine coming from the headphone part when active. Supposed to happen or defective?

I have not had any issues with my set. You should make sure you do not have another microphone hooked up to same system. That would cause feedback through headphone. if feedback is not the case I would return.

Not suppose to be there at all. It should be quiet. Unless the volume is maxed it shouldn't do this at all.

I have not had that problem. Verify that the earpiece is snapped securely in the clip so it actually makes a "snap" noise.

The high pitched noise should only happen when you push the small button on the side of the handle. If you are not pushing the small button on the side of the handle and that button is not jammed in the depressed position, then you have a defective unit.

Yeah, it's an issue with the speakers when devices are connected. Chances are it makes the noise with any attached device, but some devices are more apparent than others. The best solution is attaching some speakers. Even computer speakers via the USB/headphone jack solved it for me, and it's actually better quality sound.

Mine, which I bought about four months ago, does not make any noise. You might consider returning it. That is my only advice.

Not here. And I purchased three for other people and they haven't had any complaints, volume or otherwise, either. If it's not the case that the jack was just loose then maybe you got a defective unit...

I have never had that problem yet so can't really say. Have you tried different headphones with the same issue? If the other headphones work then it would the connector on you the headphone that doesn't that is the problem, probably a loose wire connection. I use mines with several different headphones and have yet to have an issue with it. And I do use it at least a couple of hours every day.

I would give Bose a call. I did not experience anything like that. In fact, my cord gets snagged and fly out of the actual headphone all the time and I still don't have a problem like that.

Usually this is indicative of low batteries. I use rechargeable Lithium batteries for long performance before needing to replace. If changing the batteries doesn't solve the problem then look for what you have added into the room that might transmit near or in the same frequency as the headphones. But most likely it is weak batteries. If these are in a vehicle the alternator can cause this noise, but you should have seen this the very first time you tried them out.

I don't have that problem! Maybe the sound software needs updating? or headphones defective?

I have one, and the noise, while not very loud, is a very annoying high pitched whine that you WILL hear over gameplay.

Have not had that problem with my pair. Usually that occurs when the cord is not twisted in properly. Otherwise I am not sure what the problem would be, probably the headphone rather than the plug if it's one side only.

I've never noticed mine to make any noise at all. When I checked again just now, I put my ear right up to the camera and could barely hear a little hum.

The high pitched noise you are hearing is probably from the unit's switching power supply that is probably defective (the switcher is leaking over into the audio circuit) and will probably fail soon. My unit functions great with exceptional sensitivity.

Mine just automatically does it. If the ear piece is connected correctly and no sound is coming through, I would say its not working properly.

I'd like to know the same. It happened to me exactly you described and my headphone only plays on one side and it's very disturbing to have to fixed it every other stroke. If you find that out let me know. Tks Claudia

I would try other headphones in my phone first. If nothing happens it's probably a factory defect. If it does the same thing, it may be your phone.
