Internal ANC Feedback Microphone
This electret condenser microphone is responsible for monitoring internal ear cup noise for the ANC circuit. Contamination from humidity or degraded adhesive on the mic housing causes a positive feedback loop, manifesting as high-frequency whistling or crackling. Replacing this component or cleaning the existing mic element and removing the adhesive residue resolves the signal instability.

Replacement Ear Cushion Kit
The ANC system relies on a sealed acoustic chamber to function correctly. If the cushions are worn or have lost their memory foam density, external air pressure leaks can cause the ANC processor to overcompensate, potentially triggering the feedback issues or making the crackling sounds more pronounced during head movement.

Right Ear Cup Main PCB Assembly
In cases where cleaning or replacing the feedback mic does not resolve the issue, the fault may lie in the analog-to-digital processing path on the secondary PCB. Moisture ingress can cause corrosion on the ribbon cable connectors or the logic board responsible for processing the ANC phase-inversion signal.
