Logitech G633 Crackling

So I was looking for a new headset, and I watched Luke's review of the Logitech G633s before PAX, so I picked up a pair. However, lately I've been having some problems.

 

While doing some basics tasks like gaming or watching a video (*Shoutout to youtube's restricted mode "enabled" crap) I seem to get crackling through the speakers. It's hard to explain, it just sounds like distorted audio feed through everything. I am (obviously) on PC and I only use the USB cable, and occasionally the 3.5mm input also through my phone. It's kinda a vague description, but I don't know how to explain it... It happens every once in a while and it usually lasts in short bursts or constant for a few moments. I use Logitech gaming software 8.74.80, and I have tried switching to every version in between it and 8.56... 

 

The problem persists if i'm using Dolby 7.1, DTS headphone X, or just no surround sound. I've also tried switching USB ports and a few other things but otherwise I'm helpless. Running Windows 10 64-Bit.

 

ANY HELP APPRECIATED!

Does it happen when on 3.5mm? Audio distortion is normal through USB as there's all sorts of cable-contact going on in your case and lots of interference. I'd suggest using 3.5mm if possible.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

 Yeah, But the only support is USB to PC. Meaning that the 3.5mm only works with mobile, Xbox and PS4 I could get a adapter possibly? or maybe like attach a ferrite bead to the cable to block other interference?

Do you have another PC you can test the issue with?
