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!

Hi, The open back makes it easier to hear yourself and others around you. You'll be happy with them, I love them.

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?

I got the 3D ear phone/microphone and it kind of helps out for me! I am a distance hearing person so the audio is fine for me. If you want to play back the audio, you can get a reg earphone and listen to it!

Hello W. Fisher. On the volume control base there is a slide up/down button for you to put the mic in mute. Many time I forget to slide the button back up to un-mute the headset. So if you a looking for a flashing light to indicate if the headset is in mute mode, it does not have one. Sorry....

If you are alone, you can listen with your. Earphones with the TV on mute. If there are other people that would also like to listen, then just turn up the volume like normal and they can listen like normal. You do not have to make any changes. The volume of the earphones is independent of that of the TV. The quality of the sound with the earphones is unbelievable.

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.

Your headset receives whatever sounds are coming over your TV. You can hear your games just as much as you can on your TV. In fact, if you need, you will hear your standard TV channels, DVDs, etc., over your headset

Chat volume is set, you have to adjust the game volume to your liking, you either turn it down to listen or turn it up but you will have a hard time listening.

Hi Melissa. I'm not sure about your particular issue. ...I had not problem hearing other things and conversation. ...but other people heard their voice echo back to them. ...to such extreme that they would not talk to me unless I disconnect the device

its really weird that I got this question today. Up until about 3 days ago it was perfect. People could hear from quite a distance. Now in the car people cannot understand what I'm saying. Its very sensitive but it seems like you're not blocking noise. Its not blocking noise. I was thinking of calling them to find out what was up. Been real disappointed lately period last 3 4 days

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.

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.

Yes you can. Just like hanging up a call, you can hit the phone button to mute yourself.

You should be hearing sounds coming from the device you're connected to, not the sounds you put into the device. You shouldn't hear yourself talk unless it's a play back of a recording...

There is a sound adjustment that adjust the game volume and Mic volume. You have to set in in the middle if not. They cannot here you. It's a volume switch on the last ear I think.

It's actually very good about picking up only voice. Now also keep in mind if you want to avoid the whistle getting through, it is push to talk. If you want the whistle to come through, it might slightly but not 100% clear nor at a good volume as this is designed to pick up sound directly from the wearer's neck.
