I have my UE headphones plugged into my macbook and there seems to be a noticable hiss on it. Is there any way to fix this problem or is it just the way the audio is?

Unfortunately it's a hardware issue. It's not specific to the Macbook, though. Whenever you stick audio hardware as close as it is to other electronics found in laptops you get a little interference.
The hiss should go down as the impedance of your headphones goes up. Try out some better headphones and see how they treat you. -

UE's have pretty low impedance and I think the hiss occur when using headphones with an impedance thats not high enough. If you've got etymotics er-6s, test them out and see if theres any hiss. -
It's not really better headphones. UEs are really good headphones but they have low impedance so that they don't drain you mp3 player batteries like no tomorrow. I used Koss Ksc-75s and they have like 60 ohm impedance. No hiss. No problem.
