Ok, this is an odd request, but I have a mate who asked me to post this question for him here.
He works in a headphone-friendly environment, but he regularly needs to be able to hear people talking to him and various other things such as incoming messages on the computer. He would like a system where no one around him can hear what he's listening to (hense the closed cans) but, where he can easily hear what's going on around him.
I assume this is not a common scenario as most people here are after the exact opposite goal.
His only idea is to run the cans off of a small mixer and use a microphone through the mixer to pick up ambient sounds and run them into his headphones.
Does anyone here have a better idea?
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find a similar question via search...
Thank you!
