Does it work as a speakerphone in the house (e.g. in the kitchen washing dishes) or is the microphone picking up voice from one direction only?

Sorry but I have never used it in the house, only in the car. It works beautifully in the car. But I believe anytime you have a bluetooth to bluetooth connection, things would work. So I don't see a problem there.

I never used it in my home. I use it in my car. The microphone pick up the voice very well. The music play great also.

No, you cannot use it as a microphone for phone calls. It will ring through the speaker, but once you answer the call, you will have to speak through your phone. Whatever program you are using will resume once you finish the call.

In my opinion, it isn't really designed for phone calls. First, the mic is on a back of speakers and duality of sound is lower for phone, than for music.At least for my Motorolla phone. But for listening music it is great.

There's a microphone on the side of the dongle (same side as the headphone jack goes). It's not a great one, but it seems to work okay for calls.

I assume you mean sounds from the room. The microphone can be mounted in the wall but The pick-up end or micrphone must be exposed in the room so it can function as intended.

It works perfectly fine I use mine to listen to music and to make and answer phone calls, I have absolutely no complaints about this product. The microphone is exactly where it. The best to be the advice I can gave is to try it out and judge for yourself u wont regret it

Hello. It's only a 'one way' speaker; i.e., it has no microphone capability...cheers.

I don't think the household noise will be a problem, as whatever the mic is aimed at; i.e., yourself, it will pick up the most. The mic is powered through your computer, there is no on/off switch. As soon as it is plugged in, it is on. There are no drivers or software needed.

It is unbalanced I am not sure how you go about rewiring it. I think it sounds fine as a unbalanced mic. Really depends what you wants to do with the microphone and whether you really need to make it balanced. I think it sounds fine for basic vocals. But each person has there own preferences.

It makes a tolerable speakerphone. I haven't used it extensively as a speakerphone, but haven't experienced any problems with it when using the speakerphone function.

I'm not a speaker person so I honestly cannot answer that part of your question. I only use the speaker when calling in scripts or listening to vm. It only has 1 headset port.

AS it is a small device, it does pick up movement near the mic. if you hold the phone and move it, it is fine, but if you are near the mic with your hand, will notice some rustling. By the way, it is very multi-directional, so you can not have it in from of the speakers you are trying to listen through or you will get feedback.

I use this to listen to podcasts. I have a small utility on my WM5 phone that transfers speaker audio to the headset. This happens to me when I am listening to a podcast and then when a phone call comes. The caller is not able to listen to my voice at all. All other times it works pretty well.

It's actually very good about picking up only voice. Now also keep in mind if you want to avoid the whistle getting through, it is push to talk. If you want the whistle to come through, it might slightly but not 100% clear nor at a good volume as this is designed to pick up sound directly from the wearer's neck.

It has a mode for front only, and a mode for all directions. There is a switch on the mic.

Yes, I used mine for about a year successfully as a speakerphone, then suddenly nearly everyone I spoke with couldn't hear me clearly anymore. Works okay initially, but not reliable for me.
