How well does this handle cable handling noise? in other words, when in use and you move, grab or handle the cable is it audible in the headset?

This headset is terrible. Despite all of the positive reviews the call quality is 'tinny' and hollow. I can not endorse it

As far as I am aware, it handles very well. Very limited noise is transfer when moving about of handling any of the cables. Our company have about 75 of them and no complaints to-date. Thanks!

No, it is not audible in the headset. But, it may affect the person who is trying to hear you on the other line if you are using if for a phone (keep in mind I've experience this with mine - which has an adapter to a 3.5 mm jack, so I don't know if this happens because of the adapter or because of the headphone set up itself)

I have had people say to me when I turn the headset on in the middle of a conversation that the noise on there end is very load and hurts there ear. This is the first I've herd about the muting noise. Overall I'm very pleased with the head set. It works great for noise cancellation.

The boom goes down a fair way; I actually do the same thing from time to time. This headset has been the best one I have owned thus far for just wearing around the neck.

Actually, I'd say it doesn't do that great of a job blocking outside noise. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 4. Mostly it only lets louder noises in, but when nothing is going on ingame or if there is no music, you can hear others talking quite clearly. That being said, it runs pretty much silent when on someone's head. When my ears get a bit achy, I'll set them on the table next to me, and I can listen to whatever pretty easily. HOWEVER, as soon as it is on a person's head, nobody but the wearer (or people really really close, when at high volumes) can hear the content. Also, in case you wanted to know, the directional mic does a great job at reducing accidental noise traffic transmission. Hop this all helps.

During normal non-gaming use, I barely know it is on. When I play a simple online game (Runescape) it really revs up and gets quite loud for me. Sometimes I would rather not play then to have the noise. But then again, I've been told my ears are quite sensitive.

Lori,The Headset microphone can be pushed all the way up when your not using it. Best headset I've ever used

I haven't tried that, though I did use it while laying out a brick walk in the fall. Jarring the headset made no difference in the sound, and I didn't notice that my ears got uncomfortably sweaty. Those are the two issues I would be worried about.

I have not had any issues with the headset being fragile or too tight. If you leave the headset long enough they will cause discomfort but so will anything making contact with my ears for hours.

The sound quality is pretty decent for a headset mic and is better than most mics people use online. It does not have built in noise cancellation as far as I know, but most apps and games you would use it with have some form of noisegate to account for it. It is a dynamic microphone, so it doesn't pick up a crazy amount of noise by default.

When I am using the headset, those around me did not hear what I was able to hear. I was, however, able to hear others around me. How clearly I heard those around me depended on how high I had the volume on the headset. Hope this helps.

Yes. You do need to be careful. One time when I was on the Precor, the cord almost got hung up on the bar. I still like the headset & have no regrets buying it.

It has an 3.5mm female out (non-volume control) jack for all those options,,headsets, home sound systems etc. Just get an extra female outlet on your cable for that reason and have volume control on your headsets.

It's great for both! I love em. Now I wouldn't wear these on the bus or in a store, but sitting on my computer they sound great. Only issue is...if you turn the speakers up high, there is a slight haze sound when there isn't anything playing. Other then that, best gaming headset I've owned. And I'm a music buff. You'd like it man!

Sorry for the delayed response. I wear glasses and use this headset for many hours every day with no issues. I don't remember any issues even when I first started using it.

I have not had any problem with that. I have used it extensively while walking through the house and doing projects in the garage. I've asked the people that I've spoken with if they hear any interference because of the headset and they say that I have been crystal-clear. I'm actually going to buy a second one for the garage handset

Yea! I used it on ghost, advance warfare, black ops 1 and 2. Footsteps are clear on all but advance warfare but that's a game issue not headset issue. It's a great headset especially if you're on a budget. Quite durable too. Had a few rage moments where I tossed it and it didn't break.

Hi Victor,While I haven't had as good a luck with the noise cancellation, I haven't been in any environments as noisy as yours. I do know others have had good experience and with my previous generations of this headset, it has been the best of anything offered and the current gen is the same. I have used other makes and their noise cancellation isn't as good.
