How well does the mic work on these? Is it hard to hear you because the mic is not close enough to your mouth? Does it get a lot of ambient noise?

I talk in my normal voice no problem being heard. I can hear my callers very clearly, and volume is adjustable.

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.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all. =) In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

I think the sound quality is super and when wearing them I cannot hear any outside sounds. The buttons for increase sound does not work with my device. I would actually prefer that this was not on them. Hope this helps

Theyre not bad but along with any in ear you can here yourself breathe along with wind. Also the mic for me doesnt work very well at all. But other than that yes they could work well.

Very good overall quality for mic sound, not 100% sure about noise cancellation...I do not believe so.

No but the internal mic is really pretty decent, we use these on paranormal investigations and they work pretty good. I suppose it would depend on what kinda videos your gonna make. If it is relatively no background noise would be clear and with some would be distorted

Hi Jobin - You know, I really don't use them much, so I really can't comment. I went back and see if they work, and they do, and there doesnt seem too much background noise. Hope that helps.

You will still be able to hear people around you speaking, although again it will be muffled. You might do better with a pair of music earpieces/headphones designed to cancel ambient noise.

I found it doesn't have a lot of distortion. Is it pro-level? Not even close, but for a budget and for most people that might listen to recordings done with it, it will be fine. I've recorded performances with it, and as a shotgun mic, it filters out external noise nicely.

The noise cancellation is not the best but not the worse out there. It does depend on the amount of volume you have on if its at the max then people will hear near you. At medium to low volume then no one will hear what you are hearing. Conclusion is I would recommend this.

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!

I've never been on the other end of this mic. I don't know if they would be very good in a noisy environment. I've been told that the sound quality coming through the mic is really clear though, no complaints from other people of it cutting in and out or static like other headsets I've had in the past. These are by far my favorite headset I've ever owned. Very comfortable!

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!

Actually, not really. I haven't really observed much in the way of feedback or bleed-through. The mics are pretty sensitive to wind/breeze, though the windscreens help quite a bit. I've seen some people talk about cable noise affecting their recording but I also haven't really observed that myself either. The only real issue is heavy wind. That can be an issue, but it's really no different with any other mic I think. Minimizing touching of the earphones and excessive yanking on the cables should go without saying though.

they can hear what you hear through your ear piece - not what's low volume around you. So if you are a heavy breather, cover the mic or switch to mute.

pretty good. they're not active noise cancelling headphones so if that's what you're looking for, these are not for you. but as passive noise cancellation, they're decent. they'll block a lot of environmental noise and wont leak much out. the best isolating closed headphone i've used that wasnt an active noise cancellation pair was the beyerdynamic dt770 pro. those blocked out the most noise and leaked the least. i much prefer the sound quality of the a900x though. sold mine off a year ago really regretting it.

I have never used them in this scenario so it is hard to say. I imagine they could be effective. They block out the sound of conversation from coworkers in close proximity. I suppose it depends on how loud you have the volume on the game. I really have been satisfied with these headphones and despite them cracking I am still able to use them.
