How can I stop my kid from screaming into XBox headset? (1 Viewer)

PIK95 · Feb 16, 2018

We have a huge problem at our house. Whenever my son plays XBox or PS4 with his friends, he has to talk really loud into his mic just to hear himself. Is there a head set or some software that will help put a stop to this? I can't take it anymore!

Wrigley · Feb 16, 2018

Good question, my wife would like to know the answer too

Have you tried Backofhand™?

1. Take away xbox headset when he screams.

2. See 1.

Sleep with his mom.

mr roboto · Feb 16, 2018

Really? Take it away till he can stop? Not complicated.

Agreed. How else is he going to let all those nerds know how friendly their mothers are?

See the Homeowners current project thread and reference @shuke asking about building a soundproof box around his sump pump. Now imagine your son's head is a sump pump.

1. Look on the side of the headset for the little orange button. You’ll probably need a paperclip to press it.

2. There is no little orange button. But, now that you have the headphones in your hands, start to squeeze them, tight enough that the plastic starts to squeal a little, but not so hard that you’re actually breaking them.

3. Meaningful eye contact with son. With a very low voice, that requires he remain utterly silent to hear, tell him: “I will destroy this headset, the next time I hear cursing/yelling/shenanigans coming from this room.”

The issue is he can't hear himself. He has know idea how loud he is talking. Is there a way to normalize the mic volume with what he hears?

No, but behavioral conditioning will work.

Obviously. But that's not what I need here. He's a quiet kid in general.

Guess he's just destined to be one of those people shouting into his cell phone at a restaurant. Sorry, man.

This might work.

I remember when an FBG starts a thread, gets almost universal advice, doesn't like it, and ignores it all.

Oh wait....

They ignored the question. Its a headset issue. Nobody else has this problem.

when you use the headset, do you scream into it?

ChiefD · Feb 16, 2018

WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO MY KIDS I JUST SCREAM LOUDER THAN THEM SO THEIR FRIENDS CAN HEAR ME. THE OLD "EMBARRASSMENT TRICK."

I SAY THINGS LIKE:

HEY, DID YOU WIPE YOUR BUTT GOOD TODAY?

MOM PICKED UP YOUR ITCH CREAM TODAY.

HEY, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHY YOU SPEND SO MUCH TIME IN THE SHOWER THIS MORNING.

gianmarco · Feb 16, 2018

The volume is too high, obviously. Have you never encountered someone wearing headphones that are too loud?

Turn it down and he should as well. If not, take it away until he learns to just like others said.

He's not actually screaming, just talking loud. Is there a headset where he can hear himself.

the rover · Feb 16, 2018

I have an xbox headset that i don't scream into. I'm happy to send it to you to see if it's a headset problem or a screaming kid problem.

I see your point. I guess I distracted everyone when I embellished his loud talking.

WHAT I WANT IS A HEAD SET RECOMMENDATION WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THE VOLUME OF YOUR VOICE THROUGH THE MIC!

I guess I should just take this to the curley board.

Snorkelson · Feb 16, 2018

Go to settings, turn the mic volume all the way up, and his friends will be telling him to quiet down because he’ll be blasting them.

Take the headset away.

JAA · Feb 16, 2018

Mr Jenkins, is your son named Leroy?

Galileo · Feb 16, 2018

Tell him to pull one of the ear pads away from an ear. Then he can hear his friends in one ear and still hears himself, and you #####ing at him, in the other ear.

I feel like this isn’t that hard. You don’t need a different headset.

mr roboto · Feb 16, 2018

Have a baby. Make him play Xbox in the baby’s room when the baby is napping. If he wakes the baby he has to get it back to sleep.

I have actually tried four different ones. The ears are so tight, you can't hear your own voice. So you have no idea how loud you are talking. Like deaf people who talk loud and don't know it.

That actually works. But there has gotta be an easier way.

Easier than moving an ear pad 2 inches?????

Please tell me that video ends up with that kid being forced to eat his X-Box.

Easier than telling him to knock it off or he can't play?

This thread is awesome shtick.

"My dog barks nonstop whenever I put this red sweater on him. Any ideas on how to get him to stop?"

"Take off the sweater?"

"Yeah, that works, but anything easier? There has to be an easier way."

X Box actually removed one of the ears on their version.

Yes. But you’d need to buy another headset?

I’m not a gamer but isn’t part of the headset stereo sound to hear what on either different side of you?

Id just teach him to talk quieter.

GroveDiesel · Feb 16, 2018

You people all kind of suck. There are plenty of gaming headphones that feed your own voice back into your headset so that you can hear yourself. Give me a few moments and I'll link you some.

Insein · Feb 16, 2018

Schtick free here, why does he need to hear himself? I would think he only needs to hear his friends talk.
