Headset feedback question
Posted on 4/6/15 at 12:57 pm

Kinda lengthy.
Okay, I bought this pair of Steelseries V2 with the inline volume control and the USB adaptor a while back. LINK
I never had any trouble with them, great sound, good mic.. until the mic quit working. Not sure I like the retractable mic design. But I do love the sound and comfort of these.
Anyway, I went to BestBuy and got a pair of the the Steelseries Siberia V3.
LINK.
The V3 didn't come with the USB adaptor, just 3.5mm cords so I plugged them straight into my comp's 3.5 jacks. I'm getting tremendous feedback noise through these, and sometimes the sound just shuts off. I reinstalled my mobo sound driver and still didn't fix anything. And I get the noise in every jack, front and back.
I plugged my old V2 headset back in (still using the USB adaptor) and I get great sound with no feedback whatsoever. So I figured, hey, plug the new set into the USB adaptor and they should work since they are the same brand and pretty similar. Nope, I get feedback through them going through the USB adaptor. Any idea of what I can do?
So right now, Im using my V2 for sound and my V3 wrapped around my neck for the mic. Not very comfortable.
And when I say feedback, I mean high frequency buzzing and you can hear the computer "working" through them.
EDIT: Not sure if this should be on the tech board or not.

Not sure why you're getting the feedback. But I have a $1300 beast pc that looks like shite on the inside.

You should return the V3 and get a nice pair of headphones

I likely will. I don't need a $200 pair of headphones though. Those would serve their purpose if they didn't have the feedback issue. Sidenote: I already took back a pair of turtlebeaches. They were terrible.
Any ideas on my problem other than your post?

No shite. An $80 pair is better than all headsets

Cool, then you have no reason to post in this thread again.

You're a fricking tool.
I know a few suggestions, but seriously, you can frick yourself.

I use my Sony Gold wireless PS4 headset with the Razer Surround Pro through Synapse controller. Sounds great, all I need.
People hate on Razer (Drewbie) and I do hear their newer products suck, at least the KB's I think their mice are still solid, but man, their software is so damn good. Synapse is great.

This, I don't know why people even think about getting a headset. Pretty much all of them suck and the ones that don't are way overpriced.
A entry level pair of open ear headphones can be had for less than $100 and sound better than $300/400 Astros.

Heavycore, wow dude. Fly off the handle for no reason much?
To people other than Hardcore because he doesn't like me for some reason..
When I say headset, I'm talking about headphones with a mic for gaming. Not headphones.

Well, dumbass, there are these things called microphones that you can use with standalone headphones.
You can get these headphones with a mic like this or this and better 100x better than any headset.
