Yes, as long as the volume level isn't high, then you'll easily be able to hear someone calling your name.

Absolutely. It is not a soundproof headset meaning you can still hear people and sounds (doorbells!) that are away from you.

With the open foam ear cups, you have very good ambient awareness. Sound quality is very good, although sensitivity is a little low if you try to use these for mobile device.

Although my hearing is going bad, it is not that bad. The volume is adjustable and you should be able to make it loud enough on the handset, in my opinion. We occasionally use the speakerphone feature and also find that to be very loud, but adjustable.

Mic is overall good but sometimes people can't hear me where there's a lot of noise. Noise isolation is good, too much noise isolation is dangerous

I use this headset primarily for webinars, once per month or so. The audio quality is great, in fact better than using my phone handset. It should work well for you.

I use it for Dragon speaking. It has good quality sound. For gaming you might want a full headset for stereo sound though.

I have a home office - I have been told that people can hear me typing if I am not on mute. When I call into a conference line and announce myself, and hear myself entering the call, my voice is not crystal clear, but I can be heard and understood. I would say about 80% quality but not much noise cancellation.

The phone does have a loud setting, but I still find it difficult to hear the person I am communicating with in an environment with normal background noise. I would suggest that the purchase of a more specialized phone would be more suitable for your needs.

Yes, if you are wearing the headset and don't have the volume too loud, you should be the only one who hears the call.

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

I have no problems with hearing people I drive a fork lift at times and can hear pretty good however I use it for my phone not for games hope this helps

Yes, It is worth getting. I am enjoying my headset. It is easy to sync, fits good behind the ear and good sound.

It is not quiet per say but it isnt the loudest one I have had... I would not get it if you are trying to not let other hear you, if that makes sence.

You probably could use it as a VOIP headset with the right adapters. It's really intended for use with a dedicated dial pad. I would look for a cheaper solution for VOIP.

I have only had 3 or 4 calls wih the headset so far and have not had any complaints about the mic quality but i hav not heard it from the other end so im not sure.

Absolutely not. If someone is near you and talking you, you have to have to hear their extremely loud voice. Plus, the device will produce very loud sounds if I you walk while weaing it.

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.

I was told I sound quite loud. Used it for a phone call. No one had problems hearing me, but I would not use it for recording.
