White_Hawk Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I've bought 2 pairs of custom 1s and returned both because no matter what source they were plugged into, as soon as I plug them in a get a "phhhhhhh" sound. It disappears as soon as music is playing, unless it is extremely quiet, but it bothers me nonetheless. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm considering picking up a 3rd pair to try again if I'm the only one who's experienced this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 do you hear any sound when they're NOT plugged in? If so, it's your source that's making the sound, not your headphones. might it be possible that with the headphones in that you're more aware of slight tinnitus that you don't recognize so long as there is outside stimulus but aware of when your ear canals are sealed?

Professor Thump Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 What type of MP3 player do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White_Hawk Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 I've plugged them into my laptop, wifes ipod touch, a TV, desktop computer - all have the "phhh" sound. I used them on my iphone and FINALLY the sound is gone. However these are a very late gift to my sister (who told me of the problem with the previous pair) and they do make the sound on her ipod and her computer, so its a no go. I guess it could be said that the problem is the source, since I found one where the problem doesn't exist, but how come all my other pairs of headphones work on all those sources just fine?

I take it no one else has had this problem? And does anyone have a clue why it happens on all those sources with these earphones, but not with my other sets of headphones?

Professor Thump Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Not sure where to start... Have you listened to a standard trusted CD and plug straight into that player with a 1/4" adapter? Could you also discribe what your hearing more? What cut? What kind of sound? I am not sure I fully understand all the issues. I could probably peg it if I could hear your setup.
