First of all you have my respect on this detailed review,good job did it like a PRO, ok , i have one pair of this headset, why im am writing to you is because i'm still trying to get rid of the "static noise" or background noise i constantly hear (like a seashell u have near your ear) , the backgroud / static noise gets louder at higher volumes (50% + /especialy from headphones on wire equalizer) . I tryed them on my friends computers , the noise its still there. I must mention that neither me or my friends got a sound card, we used just the on board ones, but its annoying. My specs: MB Abit P35 Pro ICH9R Chipset /On board 7.1 CH HD Audio CODEC / Realtek

Can u plz tell me,and other that may have this isue where u found answer to this problem , or what sound u deactivated/muted from sound card that now the headphone "works like a charm now". From a gamer to another gamer Respect.

Ok , so donne that , and no result on the static/ background noise . So i emailed Roccat Suport team my isue, and its like this:

2 Moths ago i purchased Roccat Kave headphones, and sice then im trying to solve my isue with the staic noise/ background noise/ white noise (like u constantly have a seashell near youre ears). Its becoming anoying and i dont use them enymore. I tryed them on my friends computers, same result (like me , my friends dont own a sound card). The noise gets louder when i increase the volume (from wire equalizer CENTE?FRONT/REAR) pass 30%+ volume (microphone on/off or unpluged from headset or motherboard does not unfluence the static annoying noise), how Im I supose to enjoy the product?. I can tell u that my "microfhone boost" from sound card options its always on +0% gain. Tryed dezinstaling the sound card driver and use the driver windows 7 provides me, same result. Respect to the tehnicians implicated in the project making them, Professional headphones, ill try and get some answers. My oppinion is the USB power cable needed for the headphones that resonates with the motherboard internal circuits and PC activities, because when i use my mouse (Roccat Kone/USB) or keyboard Keysonic KSK-8001 UEL/USB (when i hold down eny key )i can hear an electric sound , like the hisssing from old modems trying to connnect to the internet (not jokeing). Eny ideeas? should i send them in service? replace them ...

So you muted the PC Beep but you're still hearing the statics?

PC beep off = yep the sound is still there. momentary im using some stereo Phillips headphones SHM6103 model , excellent model . @bryan No backgound noise from speakes on full volume . In my opinion and 2 months of online search is that these model of headphones use this USB cable to powerup the headset, and they are not EMI protected , or they are but the motherboard and PC circuit activities still manage to bypass and through that USB conection , u can hear the intern electric activity of youre PC (keyboard function/mouse/HDD activities), its my only answer to what its happening. Shame, hope they next product dont use and such an fault usb adapter just to power it, when u can use just the JACKS for stereo/5.1/7.1 surround sound.

Still waiting for an response from the Roccat Suport team.
