my t90 has serious soundproof problem. my friend can hear the sound 2 meters from me. is that normal?

It's normal because they are open-backed, meaning the sound comes through the outside of the phones as well. The upside is that it makes them sound better. Try cupping your hands over the outside when listening and you can tell a big difference, not a good one.

Yes. It is normal. If you need better sound proofing, you should get a closed back headphone instead...

The T90's are semi-open, they will leak sound. The T70 are closed. It is normal for sound to be heard from the T90's. If you scrol down to the bottom of page there is a comparison to the different models. Even though in the chart it states Open, they are more semi-open.

The only reason I can think of is if you have overfilled the device, otherwise it should not make that sound. Hope this helps-D

The near field Mic that snaps out of the headset still sounds far away. If you call Polk and ask for the tech department they will send you a boom Mic cable that works great

I never heard any complaints from people I'm talking with, so I'll have tosay "no". And I talk on these things walking, in bed, and scuba diving (thatlast one is a lie). I will double check with friends to see if they ever hearany noise like that. I will also test with them, and report back if they dohear any booming sounds.

False! I have used it mostly on its lowest setting and you can barely hear it is even on.

I'm not sure. My problem was you can't hear out of the mic. If your quiet and there isn't any noise around you then you can hear

Yes, same result here. Really unhappy as the noise was unacceptable when used with my Cannon Rebel T2i

I personally own a 1000G and 1500G, but, based on their performance, I would say that "a noisy zooming sound" is not normal! Other than the occasinal beep, due to power lose, they make just about no sound! I would recommend calling APC and talking to them about it! http://www.apc.com/site/support/index.cfm

If there's nothing else on ie T.V., radio etc. You can hear it especially at night. Also it stopped working after two years. Can't seem to find anyone to fix it. ...

I listened really closely (ear right next to the switch) and too can hear a very faint electrical hum (maybe 60 kHz?). But from any reasonable distance, I can't hear it at all.

It must be a problem with the receiver.I did not have any problems with the volume.

I too have that problem. I hope someone can help. Even at MAX volume, it's not earblowingly deafening and my viewing area is tops, 15x15.

I had a similar problem. All you can do is cut the wires and splice in 4 meters worth of speaker cable. It's what I did, and i did not notice any loss of fidelity.

No it is not normal. I purchased about 15 of them for our government engineers and no noise related problems with any of them.

I can hear a low level static noise when I put my ear next to the unit. Other than that I can't hear the static noise.

Not that bad. Definitely not someone on other side of wall, but someone a few feet away in the same room will hear sound.
