Lots of distortion w/my new ProMedia 2.1 :/. [SOLVED?]

[Phrozt]

Just picked up a ProMedia BT set from best buy, set everything up, and started listening to see if I could hear any oddities.  I started w/a long techno track and thought I heard what sounded like distortion on a track.  I checked my headphones and phone, and didn't hear it.  Then I went to another version of the track and it REALLY came through.. but again, couldn't hear it on my headphones or phone.

 

I originally heard it @ 34:40 and on into the track here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDGBDyVQeec

Then looked up another version of the track here and it was REALLY bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOmd7KLNzEM

I think the connections are good???  Is this perhaps a frequency that this set will have trouble with??

 

I only have 15 days to return them, so hopefully I can get this straightened out before then...

 

EDIT: I tested this track out on my Yamaha 400i... messed w/the levels all kinds of ways and it still sounded great.

 

Made a quick little video w/my phone. Obviously not the best, but the distortion is very.. er.. clear:

I'm worried that, because both speakers sound the same, this is an issue with the speakers themselves and not a connection thing.

 

EDIT2:  Definitely getting some interference from my computer.  I turned my computer volume down low, then turned the speaker volume up, and it's pretty clear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giNWfY5LYiM

 

EDIT3:  Ok great news.. kind of.  Turns out that it was the front audio port of my machine that was causing the issue.  I have a Razer Black Widow keyboard that is plugged into the back, and it has a jack, and when I plugged the speakers in that way... no hiss!  I turned the volume all the way up on both my speakers and my computer and heard silence.... so that's great!!  The only weird part is that I've been using the front jack on my machine for years now... for headphones, Logitech x230 speakers, my phone.... never had an issue.

 

I don't understand it.. but it seems not to be an issue anymore. 

 

EDIT4:  Now I'm thinking I'm still hearing something in the 6 minute track that sounds like distortion.. but I can't tell if it's because these speakers are better than my headphones and that's just how the song is... or if there's really an issue.  Can someone w/really high quality speakers test that out???
