Why is the Xbox Wireless headset microphone so sensitive? I can be several rooms away around multiple corners from the person using the headset and it picks me up like i am sitting right beside them.. Please fix the microphone sensitivity and how much background noise it picks up! I hope this is a bug because

I hope the software still needs to be fixed because I have the same problem.

The mic actually has 2 microphones, the second one is for reducing backgroud noise by subtracting its sound from the first one. But it seems that it adds everything...

Thanks

what headset would you reccomend to pick up sound and microphone ?

Hello Mattus,my name is Oskayra, I will be happy to help you in any way possible.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through, there are two main reasons why your Blackshark v2 x microphone may be picking up the voices of game characters and playing them on Discord or Gamechat:

The microphone is picking up sound from your computer's speakers. This is known as audio feedback and can occur if the microphone is too close to the speakers or if the speaker volume is too high.

The microphone is picking up sound from the headphones you are using. This is known as headphone feedback and can occur if the headphones are too close to the microphone or if the headphone volume is too high.

You can verify that these are not the case by changing the volume or resetting it in the settings.

I hope the information is helpful to you, if not, let me know that I will be happy to continue helping you, good luck and happy day.

Sincerely,
Oskaira.

No offence, but M's headsets for Xbox 360 aren't really good. Tried the wireless bluetooth headset. Had to shout into it for it to pick up my voice. And I'm not the only one with that issue. Turtle Beach headets have worked for me. You can get ones with
stereo and dolby surround gamesound and chat (or just chat) and are fairly comfortable to wear. Has chat-boost so game sound doesn't interfere with chat sound. And especially good for playing late at night or weekends so you don't disturb the neighbours. I'd
try Kinect but pp say it picks up too much background noise. Maybe M will make better headsets for Xbox One.
