I have this headset and I don't hear my own voice when I talk. It's hard to tell how loud I'm talking. Is this normal?

I think so. You should have a plantronics volume control. and the mouthpiece, so either or both should suffice. I've had mine for over 20 years, and never had a problem. If people cant hear, I just adjust the mouthpiece closer. You will do just fine.

Yes. I usually monitor the loudness with the phone volume. You should be good.

No, you should hear your own voice. You may need to adjust the settings on the Plantronics Vista interface (the black box between your phone and your headset). Use the little key on the bottom to pry off the panel; you'll see a slide that will adjust to different phone systems. On some systems (e.g., my old pushbutton phone), the right adjustment for listening/talking makes the number tones sound weird but they work for me.

There is no volume control on the headset itself, you must change the volume within your device.

Mine has no discernible self noise that I can perceive on recordings with the mic and a Fostex FR2LE.

No you can not hear your voice through the headset.Unless you set that option up.

Didn't try it but my suggestion for you is to look for another device. Even the cheapest headset I've had for 20$ was way better than this one. Just an advice.

I've only had mine about two weeks, but I have not heard a voice even once. My only annoyance is that it automatically turns itself off at random times and the battery life is only a few minutes.

It is more likely that your headset is defective. I would recommend returning it for a refund (and purchasing a replacement if you so desire)

the headset's volume is determined separately from the system, try hitting the mute on the remote to make sure the headset itself isnt muted

It's hard to tell. I honestly think that most headset "surround" sound is a crock anyway but this one just seems to give it a spacious feel? It's hard to explain, it's like an echo but I've grown to prefer it.

i experienced the same thing, you have to make sure the volume is all the way up on your phone and in a lot of cases take your finger and press on the earpiece for better listening, also the headset is very fragile always keep in charging case when not in use.

No, it is not audible in the headset. But, it may affect the person who is trying to hear you on the other line if you are using if for a phone (keep in mind I've experience this with mine - which has an adapter to a 3.5 mm jack, so I don't know if this happens because of the adapter or because of the headphone set up itself)

The sound with a phone is great. I asked the person how I sounded and they said they couldn't tell that I was talking from a headset.

My cordless headsets have sound when using this but not sure about the surrond sound.

It works fine as a headset but because I'm always walking outside with mine or laying on the bed on my laptop when someone calls its hard for people to hear me if its falling on the side or moving back and forth when i'm walking. I've gotten into the habit of holding it closer to my mouth in those situations but its fine for me. the further away from your mouth the harder it is for them to hear you but its fine for me.

I can't answer that because I returned the item--I was not satisfied with the volume on the headset.

Well, I can't change it, either. Thing is still worth the money. I usually use it attached by headset wire to the source, so I've never tried to change the volume before; I just change it at the source.

No, you don't hear your voice, but you do see for example i use it for GTA V and you see your characters' mouth move when you speak.
