Microphone noise

joeydutchman · August 25, 2017

Hi,

Recently I received my new headset the Sennheiser PC37x from Massdrop.

So far I have been very happy with the headset and the quality is good but when I save a recording I can hear noise from my microphone in my recording and it is really frustrating (Link to video). I tried it without a microphone and the noise is not there.

It does not matter if I put in in the front or rear.

I have also reinstalled realtek drivers but that only made the noise sound different.

I have been looking at sound cards as I think it might fix the noise and I ended up with the Asus Xonar series. I think a DAC might also fix the issue but most DAC's are too expensive for me.

My budget is around ~$65

My question is: Will a sound card/DAC fix my issue or do I need to send the headset back.

I'm open to any other recommendations!

Thank you for reading.

If the problem is emi interference then buying an external dac will help but if its from the microphone itself then u cant..
Because not all microphone especially that comes in with the headset can reject ambient noise ( has noise cancellation) so its normal if its pickup some background noises.
and i think your issue is not with emi.

Solution : might need try with another pc if the problem still persist then buy an external mic like modmic 4 or 5. but it cost a lot

I will try it tomorrow with a different pc.

Thanks for your reply!
