Problems with my Astro a40

So I just got my new Astro A40 headset, and its been great but the problem I have been having with it is that the mic picks up the Audio from my headset. For example, me and my friend are in a skype call and I am playing a game, he is able to hear gunshots ETC. through my mic because its too sensitive. And this is the head set with no mixamp. Any help would be great!

Maybe you can put the mic sensitivity lower.

You can do this in Skype when you're in a call, you go to the settings button (Somewhere on the right I believe), go to the microphone tab and lower it enough.

You can simply readjust your headset. Also make sure you mic boom is all the way down near you chin. 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III
