Can ugly noise like people on gaming headsets hurt your speakers?

If there are sudden spikes etc... I'd say "Yes" based on the frequency.... ONLY if you have the volume up too high.....

I tried my hand at COD 4 for a short period of time.... and never had a head-set thing, but always turned it on, because sometimes people on my team would give info about locations etc... or whatever, and I noticed the terrible noise you were talking about quite frequently..... so my solution was to just keep the volume much lower than I normally would have.

yea i'm talking specifically cod4 lol, luckily you can mute specific players as well...

you would mute people for telling you the locations of the enemies?? Thats the point of the headset, to work as a team....

no... I was saying that was why I'd leave the "chat" ON......

but I keep the volume low...

i'd say 90% of headset users aren't giving any good key info, theyre just saying what htye feel like, so i feel free to mute them..

Yup, I mute people all the time, even with my headset on (it's always on). I hate it when ppl are blasting their music, I'm sorry but I don't want to have your dog s%^t music as a friggen sound track. I also don't care that you are failing in school, how you yelled at your parents today, the annoying screaming every time you get shot. I also hate the static sound, the screeching beeping sound, etc coming from someone's dollar store headpiece.

So in summary, if you are spoken for none of the above, I won't mute you
