Maybe they improved the hiss, but it's still there.

Too many of us are experiencing this for it to be issues with our individual systems.

But some people don't seem to have it at all. Maybe the 950 is just more sensitive to external factors (i.e., definately speaker sensitivity, and maybe amplifer gain as well) than other gear.

But I bet it's not meeting its specs in real world useage.
