Headphone audio quality problems

[XeanWolf20]

So I had a Behringer 502 mixer and had a sound card Creative Sound Blaster Z and a AT2020, I had problems with people on discord and ingame hearing them talk and the game sound coming through my mic. So I bought a Scarrlett Solo 3rd gen. but not my headphones sound garbage, my headphones are HD6XX. Do I need a headphone amp to make it better? If I have it pluged into the Audio mixer or my computer directly it doesn't sound good, It sounded great when I just pluged it into my Sound card

 

Any Ideas

Then you likely need an amp. Do they just sound quiet and poor quality?

 

I also don't understand your original issue. You literally heard in game sound coming through your microphone?

You have open back headphones, depending how sensitive you have your microphone set up and how loud you have the volume through the headphones, of course the mic will eventually pick that noise up.

 

For a solution that is bearable and won't cost you any more:

1) use push to talk

2) enable discords sound suppression (in beta atm)

3) optional if 1 and 2 don't fix it -- create a microphone noise gate that only lets your voice through but not external noises.

Mic interfaces aren't known for good amp in headphones.
