I've recently bought Sennheiser HD-215 headphones to replace Senheiser PC Headphones. With the new headphones I hear a lot of fan or hard disk noise coming from the headphones themselves. The older headphones had a little bit on the cord with a volume knob. I guess that also contains some filter that filters out these noises.
Does anyone know a good way to get rid of fan noise coming through the headphones?
PIBKAC: I just tried playing something and realized there is an immense difference in volume between the two headphones. It's enough to have the soundcard at about 20% volume to for the HD-215 and at that volume I can't hear any of the interference.

shield your cables from electrical interferance. Check the routing of any cables inside the machine which may go close to part sof the motherboard that contain high voltages, or the psu. Get better fans in the case which produce less interferance.
