I recently replaced my long loved Plantronics GameCom 380's with a pair of HyperX Cloud Stingers after the 380's mic had broken after around 5 or 6 years of use. I originally was going to simply upgrade to the GameCom 788 as it sounded like a better version of my current pair but i instead decided to do some research into good, cheap gaming headphones and found that the HyperX Cloud Stingers were a common first place.
Although the audio is different it is probably that it is better and i am used to my old headphones. My problem is whenever i talk via a VOIP service, i often simply use steam voice chat, others on the chat can hear a faint version of either the music i am listening too or the audio of my current game. They say this doesn't bug them but it bugs me as i don't know what is causing it. It only seems to happen when i actually talk, as if the mic only turns on when it hears my voice.
In addition i can hear an echo of myself coming from my friends mic but this didn't happen with my old headphones.
Any advice would be helpful as i am currently stumped.
Thankyou
