hd558 Questions about the AT2020

[erg770]

I'm looking to get a pair of Sennheiser HD588 headphones and an at2020 (plus) and I have a couple of questions. 1. With my headphones plugged into the at2020 plus will I be able to hear my game through the headphones or just my voice. 2. with the open back hd558 will people in my Skype be able to hear the audio from the hd558 through the mic.

Which version of the AT2020 are you getting? The XLR or USB?

At2020 shouldn't pick up noise from headphones if you setup it correctly.

why would you want to plug your headphones into the mic? You onboard should be better, oh and you should be able to also hear the game, but you will hear your own voice...

Onboard is not better lol.

um yes it is? Have you not seen how good onboard has become? If you get a motherboard with really good onboard then you need a budget of 150$ to beat it. I have a whole topic talking about amps and DACs where I mention onboard A LOT

If you plug your headphones into the AT2020USB+, you will only hear your voice. The headphone jack on the microphone is there for monitoring the microphone output.

(I've got an AT2020USB that I'm looking to sell if interested, it's not the + version though, only major differences between the USB+ and USB are the price and the headphone jack for monitoring the mic audio.)

People will likely be able to hear whatever is going through your headphones in skype.
