Is this Headset "closed back"? Hoping to hear that it isolates outside sound well and does not bleed much game sound into the room.

Yes it is closed around the back. The sound is very direct out of the cups, meaning it can be very loud when you are not wearing however, when wearing it nobody else will hear the sound unless cranked up to full volume.

Yes it is but I wouldn't recommend this headset to anyone its uncomfortable and it makes a very annoying hissing sound

The Z22 has breathable mesh earcups. They do a good job of isolating sound. If you want even more isolation you need to purchase one of our headsets with memory foam, leather covered ear cups. Those will isolate the audio even more. Most of the SEVEn Series headsets use these earcups, like the Call of Duty Spectre, the the new Call of Duty Sentinel Prestige, and a few others.

There are open and closed loop systems.I would guess it is similar to a closed loop where a portion of the output audio is fed back to the input audio to maintain a fixed level.I use the RF version with a headset and it works great,anywhere in the apartment.

Yes, but unlike the "Listen to Microphone" feature available in Windows and mixing microphone input with the output on soundcards, it's a very natural way of hearing your own voice as you speak. You hear yourself just as if you were not wearing any headphones at all. This is the "Open back design" that it mentions in the description. The closed back designs (G4ME ZERO) supposedly block out any outside sound (including what you hear from yourself talking). It's a matter of preference whether you like Open or Closed better. For me, this is the first Open design I've had and I absolutely love it (have been using closed for the past decade and hated not knowing how I sound because it was like speaking with earplugs in). Edit: As a side note, because it's an open design, you will be able to hear any sounds going on inside the room you are in too. It's entirely possible to have a conversation with someone with these on while listening to low-medium volume music. That said, the microphone has nothing to do with hearing yourself, as it's the way the ear pieces are built that allow you to hear ambient noises in the room and your own voice.

I don't really use this headset for talking as more for working out though one time I did answer a call while I was running outside. The person on the other end could easily hear me speak to them and didn't complain of any background noise though there wasn't much noise in the background besides the wind. I would recommend getting something else though if you plan to take calls on.

No, it is not very good. I don't use it. Only used it one time, it was not very good at keeping noise out. I am planning on giving it to a kid to play with.

It's not a noise cancelling headset, so I suppose the only factor involved is how loud the sound coming out of the headset is. It doesn't leak though, so people around you won't hear your conversation.

No. They're closed back, so the sound is mostly muffled to an outside listener. They'll hear something if you have it loud enough. But they're mostly isolated.

I believe that most sound is concealed. I purchased this item for my husband who really enjoys them. When he is wearing this headset, he doesn't hear me calling him even in the same room.

I haven't had any issues with it so far and I keep and use a headset plugged in there on a daily basis. My friend also has this same case and hasn't had an issue either. If I remember right, the last case had the ground in an area that caused interference. I'm not sure if this is in the same place or not.

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good.I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys.Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

Yes, You have to hold Vol+ & Vol- for 3 Seconds to mute/un-mute, so not as user friendly for gaming as I'd like in that aspect, but the headset works great overall. Definitely recommend for the price.

It's nose isolation just by the closed ear design. Works pretty well, just not specifically a feature (a small amount of outside sound still gets through)

Yes it does prevent outside noise from coming in. If you have the volume turned down low, you can still slightly hear outside noise but otherwise it does a pretty good job of drowning outside noise. And yes sound does leak if you have the volume turned up high.

I have not had any problem with that. I have used it extensively while walking through the house and doing projects in the garage. I've asked the people that I've spoken with if they hear any interference because of the headset and they say that I have been crystal-clear. I'm actually going to buy a second one for the garage handset

The PC350 is CLOSED back meaning they offer pretty good noise cancellation but the sound is isolated within the earcup. The PC360 is OPEN back meaning they leak sound but have a MUCH better soundstage (the perception you gain of where the sound is coming from) than a closed back headset. I have both (PC 350 and PC 360) and the PC 360 wins, hands down. I cannot describe to you the difference between open back and closed back. You just have to experience it for yourself. At first, I thought I wanted a closed back headset (PC 350). Now, having experienced the soundstage presented by an open back headset (PC 360), I am convinced that an open back design is the best.

I never had that issue. The background noise is with NC off, as every noise cancelling headsets. Everything looks fine to me so far...
