I agree with nodzurc, I'd check the batteries. Mine developed a hum when the batteries started to fail. I tested with a set of non-rechargeable batteries before I bought a set of rechargeable batteries. Danger Danger Danger...when testing do not put non-rechargeable batteries on the headset charger. The batteries may burst and ruin your headset.My son ruined my battery charger by attempting to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. I'd imagine it would deliver the same results from the headset charger.

Odd. They sound like duds. We re-test ours every couple months and working ok far. Bought in August of last year.

I had this symptom as well and my unit eventually stopped working altogether. I had to return it for warranty replacement and I was charged for return shipping even though the unit failed within 3 months of purchase. Much to my frustration, the buzzing symptom has started on the replacement unit now (only used for 2 months) and I am expecting this unit to fail as well given my experience with the previous unit. I don't know if this is unusual for Speakercraft products, but I will never purchase from them again. At this point, it isn't worth my time or money to ship back the second unit for warranty replacement.

After about three years, one speaker stopped working. I just discarded it. My other two speakers are working just fine.

You might have gotten a defective speaker. Mine are just fine for sound no problem

I've had the same one for over a year and they have worked fine. Only the buzzing noise in the left ear when mic is activated because I got a faulty one.

@ 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.

Try using different speaker connections, I switched to use the TRS connectors and when I did I lost the buzz.

No. Mine has worked for several years without issue. Perhaps something is lodged in them or you have a bad unit.Good luck and hope this helps.

I have been using two of these for about 3 years and they have no noise in them. I believe that you can purchase cables that may take more abuse and last longer. I set sound and use these about 40 times a year. They still work well.

Hi! It's hard to answer... but you can do some troubleshooting. for example, if you change the channel (left and roght) behind the player and the buzz change to other speaker, probably the problem is in your player.. if the buzz don't change maybe your amplifier is the problem. Try to reset all the connections... try to use some electrical contact cleanner (with alchool). check the cables in the arm and needle, but be carefull there because it is very fragile. good luck!

How are they not playing? If you're not getting any sound then it could be the pick-up or the amp.

I have been using the this drive for several months and I have had no buzzing noises. I would be concerned about that. Sounds like there may be an issue with the drive. I had one of the book drives start dropping out like it was getting disconnected then it finally just died. I had it for about 4 years before this happened though and had already purchased another one a couple of months before the old one died. The one I have now seems to be working fine but I am not sure I would buy another one.

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 can't say anything specific about that problem what I can tell you is that these were a known faulty product from onkyo. It was the first and last onkyo receiver I bought. My receiver went bad after a little over a year of use. Went back to Sony and it's all I buy.

yes, unfortunately this is true. I've had this set for over a year, every once in a while speakers stop working because speakers cannot handle "sudden" loud sounds. sometimes I am using this set as monitor speakers while recording music, this is complete disaster, the buzzing sound and cutting in/out..... I recommend investing a bit more money and getting better brand.
