Did the controller update with little to no improvement for my mic. Did you guys have the same issue?

I had the same result. I resorted to using the boom mic that was shipped with it. I don't know who's problem it is but I would assume it's Microsoft's since I have other issues that require constant rebooting.

The MIC built into the headset still has issues. A replacement Boom Mic Pro can be obtained for free by contacting Polk directly. The replacement Mic completely fixes all problems.

The near field Mic that snaps out of the headset still sounds far away. If you call Polk and ask for the tech department they will send you a boom Mic cable that works great

I got these for my husband. He had issues with the mic and other players being about to hear him. I got the headphones replaced and the new one had the same issue. I ended up returning it for a refund.

Yup. Nothing I've done made my mic work better on Xbox One. I just ended up buying a pair of Turtle Beaches and just using my Polks for my laptop. When I used my Polks, people on Xbox told me I had a subtle echo and was incredibly quiet. I used 2 different updated controllers and 2 different mic adapters, but to no avail. Same story with the 'fixed' replacement mic they sent me. Awesome sound, horrible mic.

Sorry to hear that I did not have that problem with mine, try and see if you can clean the microphone with a little bit of alcohol

Yes the shielding on it sucks I don't use the mic any more. You can try and use a better XLR for it it helps a little

Yes, some other things about it to its that the microphone is way too sensitive, the band on the head already cracked which makes the build quality poor, when I use it online for the Xbox one, hearing the other players is quite difficult even though the chat volume is turned all the way up

No issues as far as I've had it. It's only been 4 months but overall amazing mic!

I had no problem, you might want to check that the connector is set correct. You might want to play with the settings off your mic also. I will also do a couple of test settings and if I can duplicate the issue I will let you know.

Yes and no. Steelseries claimed it was fixed but sent me an RMA with the same issue. They recently announced a new Siberia Elite headset line (you can find it on their website), which one would assume, has fixed the old Siberia Elite issue, along with better microphones and whatnot. It appears like they might be abandoning the obviously defunct SE and moving on with the newer model. However, that doesn't mean there aren't decent pairs of SE still out there. I'd buy at your own risk.

What mics are you using.. feedback not only has to do with the speaker position, but mainly with type of mic

Just ran into this message thread, looking to update my wireless mic setup for my Zi8, that I've had since Christmas. Rick-whoever you talked to at Kodak must not be very well-knowledged. I have been using a wireless mic that I've had for nearly 30 years. I'm looking to find one with updated technology, hoping the quality will be a bit better. Hope I can, but if I can't, I know I have one that does work with it. It's an old RCA, but its range is only about 15-18 feet and I have to get the mic close to my mouth or decent sound pickup.

When trying to piggyback a frequency, neither mic worked.... Humming and feedback out of both mics.KJBen

I did have a bit of trouble with mine at first but after I went into sound settings in my OS and updated the settings for the headset to be default and so on and did a reboot, it worked perfect, just make sure you always keep it in the same USB port or you will have to go through it all over again. My sys OS Is Win 7 Pro. Hope this helps.

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 ;)

Only tried one. It also had a bad mic. Decided just keep my original until I upgrade. Didn't want to wait and have the same problem

It works great with my ps4 other than the fact that my kids got ahold of them. they spun the mic around so many times they broke the mute. I still love them though(the headset). When ive tried to hook them up to my xbox one i had to buy an xb1 mic connector thing. they are $20 or so. What you have to do is connect the chat pad to the controller. Then get a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable and plug that from the chat pad to the headset. seems simple and no its not wireless anymore but i can live with that. The problem i am having is i can hear the game but i cant talk to my buddies. maybe im doing it wrong. i would suggest buying any headset that says it works with xb1.

It would record properly thru the mic only. Any input via line-in was distorted. I first thought it may be the cable, but tried another cable with same results.

Yes, mine seemed to be doing a Lil extra to make it sounds clear. Since friends said the background was interfering with me telling to them, but they are always clear. Just the ear hook is uncomfortable and doesn't stay with head movement.I used mine mostly for phone, but Xbox is clear, sometimes too clear

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
