Simple question: can you hear yourself talk, while playing games/audio at medium to high volumes. I figured open back would help over closed. - By ' hear youself talk ' I mean understand your own voice so you don't miss-communicate as if not being able...

I use these for gaming and don't have a problem communicating, as far as hearing myself, depends on how loud the game is really. At around medium volume Id say yea, you can hear yourself decently well. I haven't really paid much attention to this in the past so Im kinda guessing, Ill try it out tonight with special attention to this and give you an update. And just to add, these are amazing for gaming!

Wanted a headset cause is hard to be talking to someone then trying to be typing info. and shuffling papers around for info to someone your talking to. Was the microphone was not allowing me to speak and the other person to hear me, said they could barely hear me. Still looking for a headset to fit my home phone, and if someone does not any issues would like to know what kind they have and where they got it.

Not a silly question. I've heard stories that it can't be done or that it can only be done with certain sound cards, but nothing definitive. I'd ask the same question - can you listen while recording, either through the computer OR through the separate audio output simultaneously?

If you have the volume up high you should be able to, we can hear the games and videos through the case, it may be a bit muffled or you could plug in an ear piece, with an extender you could do this without opening the case or you may have to open the case to plug in the ear piece.

You will hear the game through the headsets and the left side of the headsets is your mic! So you can game & chat at the same time. When you receive the box there will NO MIC it's in the headset. Sounds crazy but it does work.Good luck gaming!!

Sometimes, while I'm talking to my friends, if they start talking while I'm speaking, I can hear my voice on their end. And honestly I sound amazingly clear. Like a-whole-nother person. Everyone can hear you clearly and I'm pretty sure it will work well with your Rosetta Stone. :)

Nope, open. People can hear what you're listening to and you can hear noise around you.

Yes. Depending at the volume which you're listening at and your ability to listen multiple different sounds at once you should be able to hear and understand speech and other sounds while using them. I usually find at low to moderate volumes I can understand outside speech when concentrating on it and at all but the loudest levels can understand enough with out to much concentration to know if someone says my name.

game sound and chat. I am so totally satisfied with it. You can even turn it up loud enough, if you want, that you can set it down somewhere in the room and everyone in the room can be heard. We chat with my son that way.

Sounds good for the other person. But for you, since they are in-ear you can hardly hear yourself so that's the only problem. End up talking extra loud

there is a volume control on one of the side speakers that is by your head. it will control the sound on the speakers only, not on the tv. So, if you have the tv on for normal hearing, but have someone sitting with the speakers, it will control it so it's louder through the speakers but the tv volume will stay the same.

Yes! The person wearing the headset has the ability to turn the volume as loud as they need it in order for them to hear the sound of the TV. Anyone else sitting in the room is able to listen to the TV at whatever volume it is, which would more than likely be lower than the person with the headset. I do believe this saved our marriage...:). It has been a blessing for my husband who has hearing difficulties and the TV does not have to be blasting me out of the room. Strongly recommend to everyone with a hearing disabled family member!

If you have an audio recorder that provides plug-in power, then yes you can. Sounds around you will become vivid, like you are actually there. If you are whispering, your own voice will sound faint. I believe a person uses bone conduction to listen to his or her own voice, thus making your own voice sound faint, if whispering on the Rolands. Everything else will sound superb.

When I am using the headset, those around me did not hear what I was able to hear. I was, however, able to hear others around me. How clearly I heard those around me depended on how high I had the volume on the headset. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. I have closed mine many times and talked. Have never had anyone complain that they cannot hear me. Hope this helps.

Behind a thin wall? I doubt it. I find that the sound is so great that I don't have to turn them up very loud to hear every high and low. As far as someone in the same room hearing them goes, I don't think that's an issue either, because I can hear outside sounds like wife calling me, phone or doorbell etc. while hearing all of the music or sound effects from PC games.

as best as I can tell... no. What I hear when talking to people seems the same with the case or without. People seem to hear me the same too. Can't say with regards to external speakers. I normally hook it up to a small speaker set when playing music. Hope that helps!
