Just discovered something .... as I prefer to use my controller with the charge cable connected as well as my chat cable, (power drain is an issue with the berserker) buzzing was a major issue, I have just bought another micro usb cable, I have plugged it into my printer usb port and into my berserker to charge it, then tried the chat cable connected, NO BUZZING WHATSOEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... Thought I would share this VERY useful tip ...

Yes, sadly its an issue that Microsoft are still trying to solve, it seems that the majority of headsets will "buzz" when the chat adapter is on and the charge cable is plugged in together, but as I said, I have used my printer USB port to charge from and NO BUZZING .....
