Yeah a hiss is probably a better way to describe it. After reading up more on audio in general it seems (as you all have said now) that the problem must be the source. I could not in my wildest dreams believe that the Nexus One would have this, so that clouded my judgement a lot. Just for reference I tried them hooked up to a Marantz receiver and they had little to no "hissing" at all. The theory that in ear is more sensitive to hiss from the source seems to make sense for the most part. But then does this apply to all higher end models also or can there be a big difference on what they pick up or are "shielded" from? PS. Nexus One is Googles first phone.

Unfortunately I don't have access to an oscilloscope. I mean, sure it's possible that there is something going on there. But at the same time, I've got Sennheiser HD595's connected to the same computer and those are $180 headphones. You would think that they are more sensitive than the S4's, but I don't know. Anyway I mailed the support earlier today but have yet to hear from them. I have to agree with Amy though. It feels like something must be wrong with mine. I can't find anyone else with this problem and I highly doubt that everybody is using the S4's with only apple products hehe.

Yes, they are brand new. I've tested them on my Nexus One, my pc and on an iphone. As soon as i plug them in to my pc I get noise even on no volume at all. I hope you did not missunderstand my description of the sound. Found a better way to describe it: it's like cranking the volume on a pair of speakers way up without any music playing, it's that kind of constant noise.

My problem is that on all devices, except an ipod i tested, there is this constant "humming" noise that you sometimes find on really cheap headphones. English is not my first language but I hope you understand what I mean when i say constant "humming" noise. This product is not supposed to be apple only right? So is this how it is or is there something wrong with my headphones? [:^)]
