Hey,
Today I got my new headset - Sharkoon skiller sgh2
In the morning when I plugged it in for the first time everything was alright, then few hours later I turned my laptop on (Lenovo Legion Y540-17IRH) and it started.
Whenever my device uses microphone whether it is for discord, ts3 or system check I get that light buzzing sound in headset.
I would like to know what cause this and how to fix that thing even though it is not that loud.

Since it sounds like they may be defective, and they are brand new, return them for a replacement or a refund.

To test that assumption, try connecting them to another USB port.

If still the same problem, try then with another computer.

If still the same, must be the headset.

Any buzzing in an audio device is usually caused by a dodgy earth, either in the device, the cable, or the connector. Earth failure means the audio channel is not properly screened, which means non-signal noise is picked up by the device.

To help discover which it is, follow the instructions given by SpywareDr.

Sounds like something nearby. or in electrical circuits inside and outside the computer may not shielded well enough?

To test though, first try them at a friends house on their computer. If still the same noise, then you know the problem must be the headset.
