Is it normal for these speakers to still have audible sound from the speakers when headphones are plugged in? I bought my first set a month ago and noticed this shortly after, you can hear what I'm listening to when I'm wearing headphones but it is pretty faint. For now this is just fine because I only use headphones when it's getting late since I'm in an apartment, I don't use them for privacy reasons. But just a few days ago I was in the middle of a game and they started to make a loud lower pitch noise through all of the speakers and I had to unplug it because it was so loud and the volume had no effect. I moved them away from all possible sources of interference and tried them again and it still had the same noise, I t noticed if I moved the satellite with the control unit it was almost like there was a microphone in the control pod. That's a bad way to explain....what I mean is, when you moved the satellite it sounded like you were listening to the thing through a stethoscope and any movement or taps on the pod sounded like loud THUMPS in the speakers, this is with the volume set to the lowest setting. I just brought the set to best buy and had them exchange it, I haven't had any noise issues but I noticed the speakers still make sound with headphones plugged in, even on this new set. I had called Klipsch support about this already and he said there shouldn't be any noise and to just exchange them. But since I see this behavior on my second set I can only think that this must be normal albeit crappy way things work. If I ever want to listen to anything in private I'm going to be SOL. Wow none of my paragraph breaks show up for some reason, never posted in this forum so I'm not sure if thats normal, anyway sorry for the wall of text
