First these have an on/off button. But after turning them on, any rubbing of the headset against my pillow results in really annoying high pitch noises. They were so bad I had turn the headphones to off, which disables the noise cancelling. Did anyone at AA test these things?!

Anyone else had to deal with these?
having used these 5 or 6 times now, I dont think the switch does what it says it does. If I turn it ON, the noise canceling stops. When in OFF, they seem to do noise cancelling.

I'm wondering if ON switches over the battery and turns on the noise canceling in the standard headphone. Since these are specially modified 3 pin units without batteries, the noise canceling works in OFF as a bypass.
