Hissing noise with new Microsoft Surface Earbuds

Anonymous

I'm an early adopter - got them on the day of release.

There appears to be a glaring issue, and I wonder whether they're particular to only my pair.

Basically, whenever there is about to be sound played - such as unlocking of the phone, start of a phone call or music, white noise hissing appears, sometimes with a "pop" and then lasts about 2-3 seconds after the sound stops. Even if no sound is played, quick locking or unlocking of the phone results in a 3 second noticeable white noise hissing sound.

Please advise. Does anyone else experience this issue?

    It's the ones with a wire between the buds.

    Is it for Bose Soundsport that are attached to each other with a wire or the two separate ones? I am thinking it is from the communication between the two earbuds.

    This hissing noise (very low) and the silent pop is present in some of my other earphones also, so I didn't even react when it appeared on my Surface Earbuds.

    My Bose SoundSport does the exact same thing, so does my Sony WI1000X, but with the Sonys it's less noticable. I'm thinking it's a bluetooth problem, but I dunno.

    Hi, V.Vaicys!

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Community and posting your concerns. We are sorry to learn you have issues with your new Surface Earbuds having constant hissing noise sometimes accompanied with a pop. This isn't the experience that we want you to have. Thanks for taking the time to let us know about this and allowing us to help you out.

    Please allow us to ask the following:

    • May we know the make and model of the smartphone you're using?
    • What apps are involved when the issue happens?
    • Have you tried the earbuds on another host device to see if the same thing happens?

    In the meantime, kindly perform the following on to your Surface Earbuds.

    • Place the earbuds back in the charging case for 15 seconds, then check if the same thing happens.

    If that does not resolve the issue, please try to restart the host device. In your case, it is your phone.

    If it is, try to disconnect and reconnect the earbuds via the Surface Audio app.

    We hope this helps you out and let us know how it goes.

    Kind regards,

    Janette_Z

    Anything else to try? This is super annoying
