You could try looking inside the speakers (specifically the one with the volume knob -- that was where my problem was) and see if the capacitors are the problem. See my previous review of these speakers for more info (http://www.amazon.com/review/R33FG0Y92298KH/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm)If you had these plugged directly into a wall socket at time of power outage (and power restart) then maybe more stuff is fried. Note... in my case the buzzing sound was not caused by a power outage or from heat, but just from crappy capacitors in the speaker. They have been working like new for almost a year now after the fix. Good luck!

Try repairing them. Usually works after that; I have the same problem onces in awhile.

Mine are a few years old with no problems. I have a friend who has had his for at least 15 years with no problems. They are great speakers.

I'm a novice with electronics, but you could try hooking up a pair of PC computer speakers and plugging them in to the headphone jack to see if the problem persists in the new speakers. it could possibly bypass the problem and give you better sound quality. If not, there must be a problem with the soundcard and time for a tech to check it out. If it's warranty, get a estimate from experienced tv repair before you take it to where HCL uses, I've heard not so nice things about their work, google them for reviews of their company. Sorry, I don't remember name, but you'll find it in some of the bad reviews on Amazon. See if you can better advise, but I should be pretty close. Sorry I meant TCL.

no this is not a known problem. However the wires after around 2 years do fail forcing you to buy better higher quality cables. Return them back or just buy new cables. I would be more pissed at Sennheiser about the wires but the cans just sound sooooOOOoo good that I could care less and ponied up the cash for some good wires.

A speaker can sound like that if it blows out. Blow outs usually come from excessively loud volume over time. This may or may not be the reason. Check your warranty dates.

Check your connection. unplug them and re plug them and try to listen for it to snap in place or feel if connects Same issue I had on one of them It didn't conect all the way and make sure they look wired up correctly as your old one if no return for new ones

I have had mine for several years, and no problems whatsoever. It sounds like yours is defective and you should see about having it exchanged.

I've had mine for almost a year with no noise or other issues... I vaguely recall a couple reviews with that complaint, though... you'd have to check reviews from 2011 to find 'em... quality control is never foolproof unfortunately...

i have a HL61A650 , i have the same issue when its on, but then it will still make that noise for a few minutes after its off... some louder than others...kind of like a snap, crackling or pop...not trying to be funny but thats what it sounds like... picture and sound of the movies are fine..."samsung" supposed tech came out but could not find anything...of course...still annoying after 2 years..

Snds like a faulty pair. Mine are equally clear. I would contact amazon or dealer asap

It could be a connection issue. I have no buzz with mine. I think you should check your connections then if that doesn't solve your issue then look into exchanging them. I think they're great speakers!

There is a volume scroll .scroll to the right and it should get louder if not then you might have a defective pair

You may need to clean it again. Besides the main piece, there's a smaller rod that pulls up that also needs to be wiped clean. Since it can't be removed for cleaning, I use one of those electrostatic dusters. The first time I noticed the crackling sound, I cleaned only the main part and the crackling continued. Once I cleaned that smaller rod, it stopped. Hope that's helpful.

I don't have any noise. I suspect the cable that connects the right to the left is not plugged in, faulty, or the Jack is loose. They should be clean.

They must not be working correctly. Mine make a screeching noise when you use the remote or, if they aren't working properly, they make a very silent screaming noise. I've had mine for a few months and they are all broken already.
