Mic picking up my breathing

[444]

My headset's mic is picking up my breathing AND my voice. Should i lower the mic sensitivity or smth like that so that it cant pickup my breath ?
Im using a Razer Kraken USB headset.

That is usually caused by having the mic too close to your mouth or nose.
Put it the furthest away from your face you can.

There are multiple ways to go about this. Using one or more of the following can help.

1. Move mic further away from your mouth.

2. Lower mic gain.

3. Put a physical filter on the mic.

4. Use push to talk.

5. Buy a quality mic.

If you talk and exhale at the same time, then the only thing you can do is learn to not do that.

are a you a mouth breather?

The physical filter helps, you need to find a dense sponge material like packing foam and put it over the boom, the other best option is to move the mic boom (my sennheiser 333d's the boom can be physically bent into position) so you're not breathing directly on it.

I had the same problem even with a filter and the mic not close to my mouth.
i fixed it by going to Control Panel\Hardware\Sound and going into manage audio devices, then find my recording device/mic and changing the 'levels' option down to 65

Lower the sensitivity of the microphone so it will only pick up when the noise is above certain level.

Just play SW:Battlefront, you should fit right in.

im not a necro because same issue (and no idea how to start a new general discussion)

Issue = Jabra Evlove mic is far too sensative!

- Swing Boom only (not bendy) so cannot reposition
- Audio levels everwhere say my mic boost is -10 which is the lowest is can go
- i still sound like a darth vader peedo on speed HALP!
