ferreterni 29 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I got the xbox headset with my xbox and although I don't use it a great deal for talking I find that when I do I have to shout or talk loudly towards the microphone. Is this the same for everyone or do I need to get a new one, and is the official one the best? I had assumed that it would pick up sound of talking just normally but find I have to make an effort to be heard on screen, it's annoying to the point of not using it, Can anyone advise me on whats normal and not. Cheers in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maty j 6 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Don't know about xbox but on the ps3 you can adjust your mic volume under the device settings. Have you tried turning this up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferreterni 29 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) As far as I can tell the mic is up to full. Only goes up to 10. Want one that goes to 11 Edited May 25, 2009 by ferreterni Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers in advance. the official ones are more sensitive but the reason you have to talk loudly is so that the mic doesent pic up noise from the tv or repeating noise from the speaker part of the mic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferreterni 29 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 so it's the same for everyone? Seems weird is all but if it's normal it's ok. Strange because I can tallk normal with my mrs while playing and it won't pick up, but have to talk loud at the side of my mouth to pick up mic. Maybe mic position is bad, cotton bud at best only reaches near my mout, maybe I got a big heed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stubby 175 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 you can adjust the volume settings on "market place" under settings, but as stated, its more a case of not wanting to pick up background sound, or your heavy breathing, thats the worse thing going, try putting the mike nearer your mouth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gilly-93 31 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 That happond to me so i bought one of these they play the game volume through aswell so if you play games like Call of Duty then these are perfect becouse you can hear people around you and listen to were they are.... Anyway have a look for yourself http://www.limexb360.co.uk/product/Ear_For...adphones_TBEFX1 Can get them alot cheaper or fleebay... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferreterni 29 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Thanks for all the help, but mic died on me last night, stopped workng, couldn't hear or speak over it. Just have to get a new one. Not going over board just get the official, unless there's any better around same price? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
