So I bought a pair of razer carcharias headphones because I needed a cheap pair of open backed headphones (gotta be able to hear the baby!) and I had owned a pair of the originals and they were comfy.
What I didn't realise is that the new ones are USB powered (not sure if internal amp or just for the stupid lights) and cannot be used on the analogue inputs alone. I get absurd amounts of interference from any of the ports on my pc (front or rear panels) so have had to plug it into a wall socket via a USB phone charger. Even so, there is a noticeable background hiss.
Is there a way to reduce interference for USB powered headphones or am I stuck with these until I'm able to go back to my sennheiser pair? Surely they can't all be this bad?
