How much microphone noise is too much?


Recommended Posts

Hey, I got a set of corsair vengence 1500 here and am trying to record some audio. The problem is there is terrible static and background noise... Is there a way to teach windows 7 to ignore what it is hearing? kinda like calibration?

Is it possible that this set is just defective? Is there a standard level of background noise that should be expected from a $100 headset? Below you see that the microphone has 2 bars full when there is no noise.

Corsair just wanted to RMA the device. The problem is I just paid $20 bucks to ship the last one to them and this is the replacement they sent me. I am NOT paying another $20 to get this RMAed too.. this is ridiculous!
