Ive noticed a small static noise that happens twice that is constantly ~6 seconds apart.

Quite annoying in quiet moments.

(Unfortunately the USB clip is missing as such I dont think I am going to be able to claim on warranty :(. Came like it but no way I can prove that:( Sister bought them from OcUK as Christmas present so I dont know what to do).

Cable is fine wiggling it doesn't change the timing or sound of the static.
Tried microsoft generic drivers.
Tried chaning USB.
Tried on a laptop.

None of it seems to make a difference.

Any ideas what I can do to try and fix it?

Help me wise ones.

Edit: Fixed. Plugged into the onboard USB and its fine. Absolutely zero idea what could cause the front USBs to do that.

Should this static return then you might be interested to know that this is a "known issue" but the USB dongle on the Cloud II's has a firmware update to remove static crackles and pops.

Use the link here to check your current version and upgrade as needed (takes 2 seconds) linky

I was surprised my recently purchased headphones weren't at the latest firmware version (it was 2 versions behind current). Regardless, this fixed my crackling issue instantly.
