Hello, im relativly new to the Audio space. I recenly bought a pair of Sennheiser HD6XX and the Shiit Vali3 Headphone amp. Im really happy with these but sometimes i get weird interference noises. I notices that they seem to come from my mobile phone. When activating the flight mode the noise...

I recently purchased an Xduoo TA-26s OTL tube amp to use with my HD 600s, and I've encountered what seems to be a reasonably common issue with tube amps: I'm hearing some noise/buzzing in the headphones when I use them with the amp. I've read some other threads on Head-Fi and elsewhere...

I've recently been wearing headphones for gaming and general Youtube channels (about a month) almost exclusively. My right ear sometimes sounds like has static, I thought maybe it was just the right audio so I turned the headphones around but my right ear still had the issue. It doesn't ring...

I wanted to share this noise control tip with anyone who is trying to use their dongle as a DAC to feed into a separate amplifier: If you are struggling with noise when converting the dongle's 3.5mm output to an input that your amplifier will accept, I am having great results with the...

My new headphones (he1000 stealth) suddenly happened to have loud static noise (static interference/hissing) at the moment when i turn on my audio setup. The static noise was still there even when not playing audio on my PC. So, I tried to use my fingers to bend over the stock cable, and the...

Borrowing a friends old Lyr. I guess back when they were still hand soldered. It still sounds sweet accept it has developed a background hum. Not really a standard AC hum but just noise. Friend says it just came on in the last year. Basically only feels like he can listen to super...

I bought more 2-in-1 headphone + charge lightning adapters than I dare to remember, and all of them hissed when I tried to use both charge and audio. Of the brand-name ones - Belkin (Rockstar or Rockbox whatever it's called) hisses. Can someone here please recommend from personal experience...

Description says it all if I use my XM4s when walking I get an almost constant knocking/rattling noise from the left side. Unclear if it is the hinge or something in the cup but it is super annoying and makes them unusable for me. Anybody else getting this?

Hey, I recently bought my first headphone amp (Fiio e10k) to use with a pair of audiotechnica M50x and I noticed three types of noise: A high pitched sound that lasts for some seconds after I pause any sound. I can also hear it during quiet moments in musics. An even higher pitched sound...

Hello everyone, Hopefully this is the right place to post this.. if not I apologize in advance - thank you for understanding. I'm a proud and happy owner of an MASSDROP X ALEX CAVALLI TUBE HYBRID AMP and I'm loving it so far - have had it for about two months. The only "problem" I've...

Hello, The beginning. Day 1.Purchased a HD600. Plugged it into the computer, used for a few days just fine, no noise, humming or whatsoever. Day 2. Purchased a headphone amp, namely the Little Dot MK2 as it matches it well. Plugged it to the computer then bamm. Noise. Humming, screetching...

For ~4 months, I have been trying to get to the bottom of a painful noise problem in my setup(s). It has been a very persistent and difficult to nail down issue. (Or I am a few sandwiches short of a picnic and quite slow). With hindsight, I do feel like I should have found it easier/ sooner...

I have a Cayin HA-1A MK2. I bought it new a year ago and I like it and it looks and sounds great. It hasn't been used very much and it's in perfect shape. It works perfectly except that, when it's starting up and the headphones are plugged in you can hear quiet metallic springy sounds while it's...

Hello everyone, I recently bought an used Schiit Bifrost Multibit, which I received 2 days ago. Unit is 2.5 years old, but had the Gen 5 USB upgrade installed October last year. Have this weird problem though - getting a static noise whenever I'm listening to music and doing something on the PC...

I have the Sony WH1000XM2 which I bought a few months ago as I got tired of faffing around with IEMs. I've not used them much I suppose I'm still running them in, is that the right terminology and does one need to do this with full size headphones? I really don't know. But why on earth are they...

Hello everyone I'm here because im looking for help or some advice on what i could get or might need, i recently bought an IEM from Massdrop it was the Noble x Massdrop IEM and i mean i feel the price was nice and great look to it as well, but recently i started using it with my Schiit Fulla 2...

hello, i just received my amp/dac (JDS lab the element) and i started noticing if i crank the volume all the way to the max i start hearing hissing sound and even crackling sometimes (only on high gain) any suggestions why this is caused? could the cables be an issue? or the amp itself ? ( i...

Hi Which USB port on my laptop (Asus netbook) to plug my DAC (HifimeDIY) in order to minimize electromagnetic noise? Currently I am using the only USB 3.0 port because I think it is not shared with any other device (there are 3 other usb 2.0 ports). Is this assumption correct? How do I know...

I'm getting static noises through my rear 3.5mm jack, plugged into my studio monitor speakers (unbalanced connection I know). It doesn't happen with multiple different headphones plugged straight into the rear jack. It also happens though but not as much noise using my external USB Schiit Modi...

Let no noise go unsilenced If you think of mains power as the ‘gasoline’ fuelling your audio system, the AC iPurifier is the product that ensures that it’s getting a clean, super premium blend to deliver the best possible audio fidelity. The AC iPurifier is the latest in iFi audio’s stable...

Hi , new member here . I have an e17k and recently bought a pair of se215s and i get a lot of hissing noise even when nothing is playing (on zero gain) Now the noise with my phone or ipad is way less than this . Are all e17k's bad with iems or should i return this unit ?

Long time reader, first time poster here! So I bought a Chord Mojo of Amazon (UK) last week, and I'm really impressed with the way it's driving my HD650s. The only issue I have is that just before it's finished charging it starts making a hissing/high pitched buzzing noise. I've read that...

I recently got my Magni/Modi 2 and i've been plugging the Magni 2 directly into the wall, but that's a bit inconvenient for me, and i was wondering if it is ok to plug in my Magni 2 into a surge protector, as some say this degrades sound. My surge protector is just a cheap $20 surge protector...

Hello guys, sorry basically a beginner in DIY, but anyways here's the story: I just purchased an old amp, and there is a distracting hum on the left channel. I was told that this could be because the capacitors "dried out". Now this hum is present on my HD558 and 650 (but less so), however on my...
