I've tried a few different sets of ear buds/ headphones. I think it is
either just me or there is a problem with my unit. Maybe this is the way
they all sound. My friend who has one and I will see this weekend is going
to bring his for me to listen to and he's going to listen to mine. I really
hope there's nothing wrong with my unit. It is this really fuzzy crackly
kind of sound in the background. I don't know.
