    Buzz? I never notice that, since 80% of my time, I'm always using headset. Can you be a little bit more specific on when it is buzzing?

    For M14x's i'm not sure but as for X360's The power brick does buzz when the console is on.

    The only time I ever heard it buzz was one time when I hooked it up to a DC power inverter plugged into a car. it didn't seem to have a problem though. That's the only time I've ever heard it buzz

    my dell power supply buzzes too, its not a problem, they changed it under warranty (for other issues not the buzz) and the new one is doing the same.
    so guess its okay.
