I'm looking for a headset where I can hear my own voice, along with the caller, when talking. Does this headset allow you to hear yourself?

I've used this headset for about 6 months and believe that I can accurately answer this is not one of those sets. There is only one button which answers/disconnects calls or activates Siri on iPhone. I see no other options or buttons to activate a feature as such. So my answer would be no.

No. And as for the person who mentioned this was the best headset they've had: they must have had a lot of low-quality headsets, because the quality of these is horrible, the sound quality from the mic is horrible, and they are NOT comfortable to wear. Don't let yourself be deceived by this person -- most likely a salesperson for this horrible headset.

Thank you for responding to your own question! :) I was looking to see if I purchase this headset would it also work with my IPOD touch.

The Motorola Whisper is very good against external noise transmission. When I've been in a noisy environment, the person at the other end could hear me very well. It has an automatic speaker adjustment that works somehow to adjust what I hear so that it's just the right level at my end as well..... My one suggestion for making the headset better would be to hv a redial and callback function available in the headset [not there!] .... Otherwise, the set is comfortable, ( I sometimes forget I'm wearing it until my phone rings) sleek looking (the boom feature is cool and I don't always need to use it when talking through the headset) In general, I like it a lot!

Hi, I too got the same question since this is an important info missing in the technical details and top reviews.. However when I checked all the reviews here , I saw two customers wrote of having been able to connect headset with this fone. But the most helpful to me was this : "I use a headset for handsfree work but the problem was that could not connect both cell and headset simultaneously. Thus, could only answer cell calls with handset or landline calls with headset. Get most of my calls to cell number so it was a big inconvenience to lose the headset/handsfree."

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.

It depends on what your software is designed to do. I use speech recognition also and I don't hear myself speak through my headset while I'm talking.

Yes, This is a great headset. I have owned few different ones and I like this one the best.

yes, it has both, you can mute yourself on the call (and talk some smack on the person...teehee!) and adjust the volume. I like it, I can get alot done when I have my headset on

Yes you can. It has 3 settings Off, Low, High. I will say though on High it's still "low" and you can slightly hear your own voice. Not the best but the sound quality of the headphones makes up for the sidetone quality for me.

No. They can hear me perfectly. I love this product. Very clear to listen to the other person's voice.
1363451
yes..you can control you're own volume in the headset while the tv is muted.
1130088
yes.. it does.... the sound is not very good but is ok... you can always use a headset to improve your experience...

Yes it does. I haven't had any trouble with people being able to hear me even while use my headset.

Listening to your own voice is not a function of the headset itself, but of the sound driver. For Windows 8 you can achieve this by going to the Recording Devices (right click on the speaker icon in the notification tray and select recording devices), then click on the properties of the microphone you are using and check "Listen to this device" box under the Listen tab.If you still cannot hear anything, try increasing the sound level (Properties page, Levels tab)

This comes with its own earpiece wireless headset. You can also use a wired headset that plugs into the handsets themselves, as they both have headset jacks.
