Can you hear your voice using razor kraken?

[Alcarese12]

I'm going to buy the razor kraken and I was wondering if I use both headphones can I hear my voice like the turtle beach XP 500? I hate when I can't hear my voice.

Headphones don't block out all outside sound. But noise cancelling mikes do their best.

Why do you want to hear your voice? It would be annoying and it may be dependent on the program you're using.

Haha you must've read that question wrong. I want to hear my voice so I know how loud I am. I don't care if I they aren't sound proof, I want the feature where I can hear my voice.

You're not explaining very well. Why wouldn't you be able to hear how loud you are with headphones on?

I have the razer kraken and the turtle beach x12. I must say the Razer kraken is a lot bigger (also doesn't have mic if you're buying the original) and more soundproof. It's also not powered by a usb so you won't hear feedback, overall I hate myself for buying turtle beach :/.

By the way if you get the turtle beach px22 I think you can turn off the mic hearing thing unlike the x12

Western Electric /Bell telephones used a phantom circuit to feed some of the mic into the earpiece as a solution to people yelling into handsets. Early phone handsets were made large so the mic would be a couple of inches away from the mouth to avoid distortion, but until the phantom circuit people continued to yell because they could not hear themselves.

I have wondered why cell phones lack this feature as you hear people talking much too loudly all the time, (or the ridiculous moving the phone to their mouth to speak then back to their ear to listen) is the lack of the phantom circuit because of a patent licence?

I was not aware of headphone with mic setups that have this feature.
I agree it is something I would want!
