I have been using this headset and love the output however, has anyone else had the problem that you cannot hear your own voice thru the headset?

If you're using Windows 7, right-click the speaker icon, select recording devices. Right-click the C-Media USB Audio Device and select properties in the recording tab. Then under the Listen tab, check the box for listen to this device and click apply. You should then be able to hear your own voice through your default playback device.

I have not even noticed that I cannot hear my own voice though the headphones. Now that I think about it, I cannot -- and I am glad!. GoToMeeting records all meeting sessions and downloads them to my computer. I have to write up the minutes, so I must listen to the recordings to do so. What I hate is that when I turn up the volume loud enough to hear the attendees speaking, my own voice is DEAFENING! I have to strike a balance at some level where I can hear their voices, and not be deafened by my own. But, I don't need to hear my own voice (in the headphones) while the meeting is going on since I can hear it anyway.

YES. Problem is that if you enable that in the sound settings it's delayed slightly and you won't be able to talk or sing.

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.

Do your volume buttons & fwd/rev buttons work on your headset? I ordered the blue S9's as well, but when I got them, the right side played extremely lower than the left side & the volume & fwd/rev buttons did not work. The call answer & play/pause buttons did however work. I just sent them back for replacement but I'd really like to know if these headsets functioned fully for you, as I may just ask for a refund if this a common issue with this set.

No you can not hear your voice through the headset.Unless you set that option up.

Diffidently issues with this headset on W8.1, but so far it looks like it can be resolved to some extent.A lot of users reported problems getting mic to work, which was the case with me as well. I

Wanted a headset cause is hard to be talking to someone then trying to be typing info. and shuffling papers around for info to someone your talking to. Was the microphone was not allowing me to speak and the other person to hear me, said they could barely hear me. Still looking for a headset to fit my home phone, and if someone does not any issues would like to know what kind they have and where they got it.

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

I have mine and I do not have any problem talk through it;however, this handset is for phone and you have to set your office phone to have access to headset piece.

I use the heahphone mic for Teamspeak. Ive asked, and my friends notice the difference between my desk mic... But they say I'm still audible in game.

I did not have a issue with hearing static. My issue was the microphone. Many people commented that they could only hear every other word I was saying. So I had to purchase a different headset. I believe it must had just been a rare flaw because this is a good brand and I have used their headsets before. Normally the quality is very good and I've been please with the product.

I personally have not but the headset is super solid. I have not had any problems thus far. The audio quality is amazing but the microphone seems to be lacking a bit. (Mainly due to the nonflex mic) all in all a good headset, but I have moved on to some steelseries siberias and love them.

I have read complaints regarding bluetooth connection problems on several sites. I just got my env2 a couple of days ago and have had the same problem with other headsets. I don't think this is unique to just this headset. Sounds like a problem with env2 to me. I am heading to the Verizon store right now to address the issue. I will update if I have any news after my visit.

I found that speakerphone is disabled when you have a headset plugged in--even if you press speakerphone, it still just sounds through the headset.

So good that it cuts off your own voice so that the person you called is asking you to repeat what you said cause your words are dropping out especially while driving a car or outside in the wind. I didn't have that problem with the old era jawbone. I can hear them perfectly crystal clear but my voice is now choppy and distant on a consistent basis. I am so dissatisfied I am considering returning and asking them to send me the older version. The troubleshooting on the website directs you to plug in to redo stuff like pair and sync but I am not a software tech and not enthusiastic about havin to figure it out and engineer it to get it to work properly out of the box.

Btw... On mine the menu option to turn audio on/off didn't get rid of the voice. I assumed it turned of the mic for recording audio. Maybe mines gotta bug... I donno. Or maybe I'm just an idiot ;)

I'm hoping that they've gotten this issue fixed with later shipments. My pair as well as my brother-in-law's pair had the left cup fail after the first day of use. SteelSeries had us fill out an RMA and we got replacements within a week and a half. Neither of us has had any issues in the four months that we've had them and in the end I am very happy with this headset. A lot of options for tweaking them to get your ideal sound

Didn't try it but my suggestion for you is to look for another device. Even the cheapest headset I've had for 20$ was way better than this one. Just an advice.
