Cable handling noise? When in use - if you move, grab or handle the cable is it audible in the headset? Any rustling noise? Thx

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

I've had this handset for a little over 3 months and in the last few weeks, there is constant noise whenever the cord is touched or moved. I'm going to order something different and hope that it's better.

No noise...no matter how much you move around...best headset I have had for the cost!

Mine crackles a little when the jack spins. Not when you adjust the mic. boom, or move the cord a little. Only when the jack moves in the phone.

I use these daily. I've never noticed an audible noise (or any rustling) when moving, grabbing, or handling the cable during a conversation. However, I did notice, upon closer inspection, that if one grabs or rubs the cable within a few inches of the headset, or taps, grabs, or bumps the headset itself, this can be heard. I attribute this noise as ambient due to its close proximity to the ears and not a fault of the headset or the headset's cable. Great product!

No. The microphone simply quits working while there is no problem with the headphone.

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good. I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys. Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

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.

My speakers and headset responds the same as yours by not muting with the TV. It actually even keeps working (broadcasting the station) when the TV is off. I have the unit connected directly to the "Cable Box" and not the TV Unit.

Hi Arminda I purchased this headset for my son last Christmas to use with his PS3. He loves it and uses it on a daily basis. It hasn't given him any issues. He says that he can hear clearly and his friends can here him as well. It was priced well, and I'm glad I took a chance on these and would do it again.I live in the U.S. and my order arrived fairly quickly and I didn't use prime shipping either. Hope my response helps!!!!!!!

Moderate user here (about an hour of use in bus daily) . I bought one 11 months back and I found yesterday that cable has a 1cm tear near the left earpiece. Not sure it will be covered under the 2 year warranty.

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.

Yes, this model suffers from severe "Stethoscope Effect" - very much noticeable whenever connected to your device and you're not playing any music - slightly noticeable while playing music.However the noise is very disturbing (even with your music on) when the cables move near your face or neck.The earphone comes with an adjustable 'cheap' tie that holds the right and left cables together but remember that you cannot move it beyond the microphone to make a tight fit of the cables under your chin to prevent dangling.

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 just bought it & have Windows 7. It works fine except it has a hum that I can't get rid of. I've played with the gain button & the mic volume, but it's still there. Any suggestions?

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.

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.

I wish I could help. Unfortunately, I never had much for problems with my mic. What type of program(s) are you using that's picking up the noise? And what's your operating system? I've used mine with things like Skype and Bandicam and it works fine (both on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1). I did notice I tried it with Steam before and it was picking up noise from my headphones, so not sure if that's related (but Steam seems to do this a bit with other people and their hardware as well).

Just checked there is a protected port on the side of the hand set. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Let me know what you're able to pick up as a headset.

I do hear that noise occasionally, especially if I'm trying to play softly. However, I don't seem to hear it when I use the headphones. So far, it hasn't bothered me much, or else I'm getting used to 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!

I did have a bit of trouble with mine at first but after I went into sound settings in my OS and updated the settings for the headset to be default and so on and did a reboot, it worked perfect, just make sure you always keep it in the same USB port or you will have to go through it all over again. My sys OS Is Win 7 Pro. Hope this helps.
