Did you tried it on BF3? I kept hearing static while playing them, the static goes away when I close the game. :/

So far it happens only when I'm gaming, I tried it on Dead Space 3, the static noise is lesser than the BF3 but it's random occurrence. As for BF3, seems like it happened everytime I join a match, and the noise will go away when I quit the game.

I'm using Xonar DGX by the way.

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't work for me.

At first my headphone was plugged into the Logitech Z103 external Audio port, then when I noticed the static, I switch to direct connection to the Sound card, both produce the same static noise which only happens in games unless I quit the game or switch to desktop.

The weirdest thing is I'm unable to use the front Audio port, probably it's disable which I don't know how to activate it or something else, mind tell me how?

I think so too, but wouldn't the grounding issue will also cause static while I'm not in-game as well? Which the issue I encountered was only happen in game.

So what do you recommend to solve this issue?

Updated:
Now, even when I use the bloody Google Chrome, the static can be heard as well!

Updated2:
Not sure if this is normal. whenever I try to switch from headphone to 2 speakers, a "clicking" can be heard from my sound card, the sound goes like a twig snap "tiak". Damn, I'm worried

Well I installed my Sound card on the first slot of my motherboard, which is on top of my GTX670. I'm using P8z68 anyway, so there's nothing more I can do for this sound card since I only have 2 PCIe slot which is either be on top or below of my graphic card (lower part can't be install because my GPU took 2.5 slots).

Anyway, will EMI shielding the sound card fix this?

I bought the DGX.
the slot are like this:

Slot1:PCI-e(Sound card)
Slot2:PCI-Ex16(GTX670)
Slot3:PCI-e(Blocked)
Slot4:PCI-Ex16(Empty)

Wait...are you saying that PCI-Ex16 not only it can be insert GPU card, DGX sound card fit in too?

Well I switched the sound card to the lowest x16 slot, which it's near to the psu. No static noise...for now

It's been 12 hours and no static noise can be heard from my ear (there may be a little, but probably I'm misheard it) THANKS!

Anyway, now the Sound card is on top of the PSU, the gap between them is like about 5~7cm ish, would it affect the sound card performance?

None, I've heard USB powered headphones are not good. But to answer the question, I guess Plantronix Gamecom780 seems okay if you don't mind the suckish build.

Something like that, search around the hifi forums. There had been alot of discussion about it.

Dont you think that it's a little overprice?

Ask the pros here (not me), IMO most of the headsets with gaming tag in it is a no no for me, I've already learnt my lesson.

Looks =! sound quality

There's a thread in the hifi or overlock.net forum for headphone buying guide, google for it.

Plantronix Gamecom 780 was my first ever "Gaming" Headset, I was so hype because this item was imported from US, tried it on play 8 hours of BF3, it was awesome at first, nightmare happens after awhile. Tremble was way off the hook, hurt my ears, the clamping part are little too hard which cause me headache and I have to take it off every 30 minutes, the 7.1 virtual surround was a rip off, it's like adding a echo layer and that's it, and the worst part...the material that used for support the clamping part, the plastic grade was like after you used it for long hours you can clearly see the degrading of plastic at both side, my head arn't even big, I din't even extend the ear cups that far till it can degrade like that.

So yeah, you get the picture.

Really? Despite the sound quality? just the comfort and the outlooks?

Sorry to hear that :|

Weird, they said Siberia V2 doesn't have stereo speakers as well, but If your PC have a sound card like Xonar DG, you can switch to either headphone channel or stereo speakers, which probably why most of the people said that it's best to use the headphones with a sound card. Hope that answer your question.

Anyway, what type of games you play?

For flux-in I'm not sure because I haven't try it yet, but I think there's a high chances that it'll able to hear enemy footsteps like any other headphones though direction wise I can't guarantee.

Probably other sifus here have better knowledge on the earphone you speak of. :|

Despite of comfort?
