Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

Is the game and chat audio being echoed, or just the chat conversation?
If the issue is just with chat, then try unplugging the PC37X, wait a few seconds, then reinserting the plug. You can also try powering your controller off then back on, or restarting your PlayStation. If you have another controller, you can try using that.
If the issue is an echo of both chat and game audio for the people in your party, the troubleshooting above may work too. Also, make sure the headphone cable and any adapters are firmly connected and plugged in fully at both the controller and headset entry. You could also try seeing if using the same TRRS adapter works in a smartphone during a phone call, to see if the echo issue truly is hardware.
These echo issues are usually software glitches. The above troubleshooting, Sony tech support, and Sennheiser tech support can all help you out.
Edit: If I mute the mic they can only hear for example music if I crank it up. I understand that being open-back, sound escapes and therefore can be picked up... I just don't understand how this is possible if the mic is muted. I tried screaming into it while being raised and didn't pick up my voice. People on the other side though, can listen clearly to my music, to the point that it seems as if I'm streaming it.
From this, and several other things I've seen on this discussion page, it sounds like the manufacturing QA on these is subpar. I don't need something aerospace-grade, but I expect better than this from a headset over $100.
