Does this headset have the same problem like the Razer Kraken? When listening to music or playing a game. People can hear your it "through the mic"?

I have never had that problem with mine. It's a great headset and I highly recommend it to anyone

Hi Todd, I only use the headset for Teamspeak (Ventrilo, Skype, etc). I then have the rest of the audio coming through my computer speakers. If I am running all audio through a headset, I switch to my wireless surround sound headset because the sound quality is so much better. The sound quality on the G330 is just ok. I purchased it because the g330 is very breathable and doesn't leave a line in my hair like traditional headsets. You can do multiple hour sessions, but during extended periods your ears may get a little sore where the plastic rests on them. The mic on this unit is very good and I never gets complaints regards of the software I am using it with. This is in my opinion the best wrap around headset out there. If that is what you are looking for you will like it. Just don't expect premium sound quality.

I have not had people complain about hearing me. Make sure you are not blocking the mic with the clamping brackets. I also use Bluetooth in my car to hear and talk. Not sure if bluetooth will help you if you have it in your car.

I'm not sure. My problem was you can't hear out of the mic. If your quiet and there isn't any noise around you then you can hear

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.

When I'm talking with friends in Teamspeak or Skype, they claim that they can hear some of my sound. I don't think it's terrible, but not a high point of this headset.

The Razer Kraken works and this one should soon with a patch. It currently does not export sound to the headset but the mic works fine. It works awesome with a PC tho and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality headset. Caution it is wired and a bit short for my TV -> couch. The module is also 1/2 down the cord and pulls it down.Overall a great head set and no problems after 2 years.Reference: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Peripherals-Support/7-1-Razer-Megalodon-headset-anyone-gotten-anything-but-the-mic/td-p/42581223 The Razer Kraken works and this one should soon with a patch.

It does and does not. It will work for chat audio but you will get no game audio through it. As they are over-ear headphones, it kind of nullifies the point.

I definitely like it for pc gaming and i like it, but if you already have a mic i would try that out and see if it works well with your setup and it sounds nice before you go and buy another one. I would always rather have this over a headset though.

the volume controls will not work through it. I'm not sure about the mic. But I doubt it will.

The mic is totally fine - no complaints there. I use Mumble/Vent regularly and my clanmates have had no complaints. I also don't have to use mic boost or anything like that.

Hi Benny, There is a firmware update that fixes some issues people have been experiencing with the microphone. Keep in mind that you should also check your audio settings in Vent as well as the audio configurations on your computer. As your friends to check the audio settings they have set for you in Vent as well as there is not as much need for so much gain. We find that on other headsets, players need to crank up the gain--when using the Sound Blaster World of Warcraft headset this is not necessary. Please contact us at socialmedia@creativelabs.com if you have any questions concerning the updated firmware or the status of your headset. Thanks, Tawnee Kendall Social Media Mgr Creative Labs

Yes, some other things about it to its that the microphone is way too sensitive, the band on the head already cracked which makes the build quality poor, when I use it online for the Xbox one, hearing the other players is quite difficult even though the chat volume is turned all the way up

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!

It seems fine to me. I've had a.few conversations using the headset and have had no complaints. Although it should be noted that I tend to speak a bit loud.

It's a really nice mic for a headset. There's a very slight hissing that I'm told only I notice (Because I'm listening for it), but otherwise it's super clear; Doesn't pick up sounds like my AC at all.
