Why are we all fanboys of this thing now? Is it that good?

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

I think the hiss is from my motherboard's interference with the audio, but I'm not sure.

Apart from the hiss, it sounds pretty good.

I'm gonna try it with my phone to see if the hiss goes away, give me a bit.

From your video, I went to others and no hiss, or if there was one I didn't hear it.

So something happened with your setup, maybe windows boosted the volume too much, I don't know.

That might be it. I couldn't get it working with my phone because Apple but it seems to make the hiss on both the front and back sides of my case.

Could it be filtered out real time with software?

Nope. You'd need a better audio interface to get rid of the hiss I'm almost certain.
