I bought these speakers and they constantly buzz when there is no sound output. Is this normal or should I exchange them?

Try unplugging the AC power plug, spin the plug 180 degrees, and plug it back in. Occasionally a buzz can be created when the power is "out of phase" with something else plugged into the AC circuit.

This is not normal. I have the speakers and they do not buzz when there is no sound output.

You could be experiencing electromagnetic interference from another device. Some smartphones (esp. iPhones) are notroious for causing this kind of problem. One potential solution try snap-on ferrite beads (available from Amazon, and usually only a few dollars for a pack of 8 or 10). You simply clip them onto the audio input cables, and for best results you should apply them as close to the speakers as possible. Hope this helps.Editing to add: They clip on around the outside of the cables and don't damage the cables at all.

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!

Nothing I tried that and got nothing. .i even bought a y splitter to run 2 sets of speakers and got this loud humming sound!!

Yes. Return the whole set. It only gets worse. We had the system for a week and it happened and the one speaker quit working completely so we returned it. We bought a Sony set and have been really happy with it.

I have the same set, and the sub is under-powered compared to a lot of other speaker systems. However for me the bass is good with no problems, you might have received a damaged unit. The board and controls are "IN" the sub container, so they get hit by the air passing by. But I would contact Limitless Creations and see if they will replace it as a damaged unit.

I've had the same problem! I've noted that the cheap knockoffs are noisy, even one I bought retail has some buzz. I guess w these you get what you pay for.

I have two connected from my PC to speakers. There was no buzzing, however during installation I noticed the sound would dip out (in volume) if I bent the cable in a certain way. Best not to expect a long life time out of these if you're moving them around too much.

Yes, they all buzz. It's not really noticeable if you're there for at least 20 minutes to get used to it or if you're doing some sort of activity. If you're just sitting quietly with no background noise, then yes, they're noticeable. So if for some reason you got these for your home office or for a reading lamp, then you may want to stick with the 27w. To properly answer the base of your question; yes they're supposed to buzz and no yours aren't defective.

@ SummerOneThanks for your input on this. Seems like the newer manufactured units are less prone to buzzing than the older ones. Also, seems like the buzzing on your first one was caused by the damage if it was a really loud buzz that you were hearing.I'm getting my panel replaced in January and will let y'all know if mine stops buzzing or not.

I own 3 of them and none have a sound at all. They are absolutely soundless unless the fan is turned on higher. There must be something wrong with yours. I would contact the company.

Your guess as as good as mine. I enjoy mine almost every day, but they are wired up to my audio amp. My guess is that Amazon is so fond of these speakers that they want everybody to notice them, regardless of the section they're browsing.

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!

hi , i purchased it recently, i don't have humming or buzzing noise coming from a speaker. if you tell me more specific on when, how and what circumstances i'll try to help.

I have the PN50B650 and no buzz. I have owned the set for about 6 months and have not had any problems. I would try an exchange before giving up on the Sammy. I really like mine.

I agree with the other comment. If possible, pair with another device to ensure that it is not the speakers. I love these speakers :>

Hi. It´s probably defective,, but I always use the headphone or aux "out" to an extarnal speakers, the sound from the built in speakers is not good, so before you return it, maybe try that, I got myself 2,1 speakers from Logitech and they are amazing and they only cost like 100 $...

You mean the transmitter? I really have no clue. These aren't the highest quality speakers to begin with. Make sure your speakers and the transmitter are on the same channel/freq

Have you checked your interconnects and grounding wire? "Buzz's" can usually be attributed to a bad connection, so I would look at all of your IC's from the 'table to the phono amp/receiver.
