Side Tone For Usb Headsets Mac
This new headset would have to have my favorite feature though: Sidetone. As I began looking, I realized that there were basically no headsets that offered this feature, and if I wanted to follow the above post to the T, I would have to buy a mic and headset separately, so I had to think outside the box.

Once again, I will appeal to the collective wisdom of the MacInTouch community for help.
At my current job, I have to answer the phone a couple of times a day. The only phone system is a VoIP softphone, i.e. it runs through my computer. Since most of the time, I'm *not* talking on the phone, but I do work in an echoey shared office, I like to mask annoying ambient noise with music.
Well, my cheap little headset is falling apart, and it's never been satisfactory for music anyway. Can you help me find something better?
Here are my requirements: Ducky one 2 skyline tkl setup for mac.
- High sound quality for music.
- Integrated boom mike.
- Over-the-ear design. I'm an eyeglass wearer and on-the-ear designs cause pressure that becomes painful with extended use. So a large ear cup that doesn't put pressure on the ear is essential. (For reference, I have Sennheiser HD 555 headphones at home, and they are quite comfy, whereas, say, Bose headphones are too small and cause me discomfort.)
- Closed design to minimize ambient noise entry and minimize music leakage, to be respectful of coworkers.
- USB ideal, but dual 3.5mm plug is fine.
So far, everything I've seen that appears to meet these requirements is a gaming headset. The one that I've seen that looks like a good candidate is the Sennheiser PC 350, but there are lots of big gaming headsets on the market from brands I don't know.
Perhaps you can share recommendations or experiences with me? Thanks!
I am looking for a replacement of the Apple earbuds with mic that came with the phone. I tried a Klipsch headset, but it is a sound isolating headset that sounds great for music, but it is impossible to participate on a phone call with it, as you cannot hear yourself talking through the headset. It sounds just like putting your fingers in your ear and talking out loud. The original headset does not really have this problem because the headset was not really sound isolating, the earbuds do not block all the noise around you from entering your ear. I am interested in a third party headset as the earbuds from apple tend to hurt my ears after extended use.
I asked a genius at the store on Mich ave in Chicago and he said that the iphone does not support any sidetone (piping your voice when you talk through the headset back to you so you can hear yourself talk). My question is does anyone have / use a headset that has some sort of device inline that pumps your voice back through the headset (or any other suggestions about a good headset I can use with the phone that does not create a super awkward experience when trying to use the phone as a phone)?
