Can you hear yourself when you talk into the mic?

I think the questioner is asking whether this headset has a built-in feedback loop feature that some competing headsets offer (the Polk Audio Striker Zx is a good example of a headset with this feature). Unfortunately, the answer is no. As other answerers have mentioned, you can get around this if you are using these on a PC, but it you plan on using them on a console, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Hopefully, Sennheiser will add that feature to future models.

hearing oneself or not is a pc setting, not a headset attribute. For example, under sound settings, Recording Tab, selecting Mic input rear channel, selecting properties; you would have a radio-dial selected to listen to mic or not (I hope that makes sense) using Windows 7.

If I understand your question right the sound transmitting through the mic doesn't automatically get played through the headset unless you enable Windows to listen to the device your mic is plugged into. You can do that from the Recording Devices tab of Audio Properties. These headphones are open acoustics which means that the sound will seem as though it's coming from all around you instead of just over your ears, but you can hear everything else going on around you as well so they aren't ideal for noisy environments. Closed acoustics are better for noise canceling but IMO they don't sound as good and they get hot and stuffy after wearing for long periods of time.

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 agree with Chris, you have to select the option through Windows playback. You can select "Listen to this Devise" and then you will hear you own voice.

they can hear what you hear through your ear piece - not what's low volume around you. So if you are a heavy breather, cover the mic or switch to mute.

No, it doesn't mute your voice when you tuck the mic in, but I'm sure there's a way to manually mute yourself through your device.

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.

No, you can't hear yourself speak. It's really a good headphone in my opinion.

Unfortunately on the equipment itself, no but you do have the capability of using the mute function if you were to connect a mic to it that has that option.

I did exactly what you did besides afterwards go to assessory settings and then something like audio settings and make sure it's on and you'll hear your own voice
105675
no but during you're recording sessions it will cancel out background noise to the point where only your voice is heard

Not really. Makes my son's voice sound a little auto-tuned, and maybe a smidge louder. But not even a fraction of what a real mic would do. Thank goodness!!!

Yes. On the speaker or use the volume control on your device (I use my iPhone)

Yes. The sound of your own voice travels up the eustacean tubes. the microphone is in the ear canal, so it would conflict with in-the-ear hearing aids. It works very well and is undetectable to the other party, no matter what type of phone you are using.

I could hear my voice through the headset, when I downloaded mumble speak, to be able to talk online while gameing, so I assume u should be able too if you are telling the computer you are on a headset with mike :) when I had to set mumble up, it had me do a voice thingy, and I could hear myself, so.. that's all I know :)

Yes, When I am connected to my phone watching youtube or whatever with the bluetooth feature, I can still hear myself speak, and I can also use the microphone and headset in phone calls. If you dont want to hear yourself while watching a video or whatever, You can just mute the microphone and it goes away.

Yes it does. The software provided has a voice preview feature that allows you to hear yourself talking.

If you are referring to the voice monitoring system where the headset plays your voice back through the speakers like on the x12, then no. This was a big disappointment, as I loved that feature on my x12's (my wife loved it more:) You can hear yourself if you talk loud enough, but that defeats the purpose. This was one huge letdown for me with this headset, as the playback feature on the x12's was perhaps the best feature of the headset.

Yes, just flip the mic over to the other side. I hope this was helpful.Lisa
