Headset Noise

Post by JJ Campbell »

Summer is coming and now with the little round portals open on my side windows to get some cool airflow, I get a hissing noise from my headset (Dave Clark H10-13.4). Is there something I can do about this? I've tried all kinds of portal positions. Some seem to work until I move my head! A bigger one of those foam socks over the mike? Something else?

Thanks I ordered a pair today. Do I have to take off the mic cover that is already on the headset or just put the new one over top?

It will replace what you have. Make sure to turn the hole to line up with the microphone and your mouth.
