Wireless Headsets and Buzzing

[kurtis88]

I use to have a pair of SteelSeries H Wireless. However, like many I experienced horrible hissing/static in the left ear cup and had to return them. I recently picked up a pair of Logitech G933 and am experiencing the same thing in both ears to a much lesser degree (Thankfully in the G933s it is actually bearable). In both cases the noise is particularly prevalent when the volume is up all the way but nothing is playing from the computer (I understand this is not a common scenario).

 

Seeing as similar problems occurred on both of the wireless headphones I owned I was wondering if this is simply a known problem with the technology or if I am just unlucky. Is there a way to fix it? I never had this problem with standard wired headsets in the past.

This is why literally everything wireless is shit and I will avoid it all forever

Turning the volume all the way up and then listening to the noise floor is a great way to hear noise. Who would have thought!

 

Could be there is a source of interference in your area. That, or it isn't related to the wireless at all and is getting into the audio pipeline inside your computer.
