Does anyone have advice on the volume of the headsets? It seems really low and there seems to be a slight screech like noise using them.

It is for ours too. We have messed with it but can't seem to find a way to fix it.

In the settings for the sound (op=out put) choose the IR not the line that will increase the volume.

i only use them in to play video games, and they sound very clear, in stereo of course. They sound very well, but i think that almost all headset for this prize must sound like this or better. I tried turtle beach X12, 40€, and they sound as clear as Monster, but, for me, X12 are much less confortable.

The volume is slightly lacking. I used it at the Indianapolis GP and 500 and was able to hear fine when the cars were not there, but I had to have it turned up all the way. When the cars went by you could not hear it. However, I was only using ear buds. A headset with a volume booster may help. I will be going to the Milwaukee Indyfest in August which will put the cars in constant earshot and I will report back how it does in that situation.Update: was OK, but again was only using ear buds. I would definitely recommended noise cancelling or amplified headset.

I had the same problem. It seems single wire headsets do this repeatedly. The only set I still have that functions is a two into one wire headset that I paid 20 bucks for. I won't be buying another one of these.

They sound nothing like the other 7.1 headsets. They sound ok compared to my other stereo headsets except for the annoying popping and crackling every time a new sound starts or stops.

I love my MMX300 everyone says that I'm clear and loud when I'm using them. The mic is really high end for a headset plus sound is amazing specially if you pair them with a ASUS PCI-Express x1 Sound Card XONAR ESSENCE STX/90-YAA0C0-0UAN00Z :D

I think the sound quality is super and when wearing them I cannot hear any outside sounds. The buttons for increase sound does not work with my device. I would actually prefer that this was not on them. Hope this helps

People I talk to can hear fine but say it kind of sounds like you are in a box. I personally have never spoken to anyone when they have been on a headset or bluetooth device when it hasn't sounded that way. No one has ever complained of static though. I LOVE my set but I prefer the S10 model. Hope this helps!

I had the same issue and returned them and got a less expensive fataly1. not quite as comfortable and in stero only. I run a sound blaster card with great 2. 1 and 5.1 plugged in back. It your choise.

Hey, you might have the volume tuned up too high on your headset which could cause that problem. If you're doing other things while using the headset it can distort the sound because it's sensitive much like a Bluetooth. You could be too far away from the base or you might have the mic too far away from your mouth. The only other thing I can think of is, it's not your headset at all it's them because you can hear them find!

the headset's volume is determined separately from the system, try hitting the mute on the remote to make sure the headset itself isnt muted

The only other thing I would check are the volume knobs on the side of the earpieces. If that doesn't work then I think you may have a faulty pair.

I just received a pair, and wrote about it here before I saw this. Your story sounds just like mine. Sound is terrible. I wrote Amazon about it. I guess I'll see what they (Amazon) are made of. As what to do. Send them an email. Look for "Contact Us" on one of the help pages.

They are indeed terrible and barely audible, at least on my monitor. I thought it was a defect until I saw everyone else mention the same problem.

I can't you an absolute yes or no, but all I know is that you tend to talk louder cause you can't hear yourself talking. The headset is awesome, the clarity of the sounds from the game is over the top. Plus you can hear things like the phone ringing or that someone wants to talk to you is great. Hope this helps.
