The latest macbook air 2013 has dual mics now. From the picture, it seems the ipearl cover is going to block one of the noise cancelling mics?

Checking the mCover website seems to show that the case WILL BLOCK one of the mics. Assume it will unless the company otherwise call it out.

hi I have the covering case an it does not cover the dual mics...everything works perfectly an nothing's being covered..only thing that can be quite annoying is the pink key pads, but it just takes getting use to..good product!

I have the model before yours and it only has one mic in the same place as your first one. It does not cover this mic, however the cover begins ~0.25in from my mic (if measured from the top of the laptop, it's just under 3 and 1/4 inches). It looks like it will probably cover your second one. Hope this helps! :)

Mine fits my mid-2013 MacBook Air 13.3 just fine. I presume it will fit the 2014 equally well. As to the microphone, while the Snugg appears to cover it, I have been able to use the microphone for dictation and other voice recognition tasks with the Snugg cover in place.

yes, it does fit the new 2013 model very well. I have noticed any problems with the dual mics on the left side but never really knew to look for that. One corner has cracked a little and i haven't dropped it. but overall i feel like it's a good product for the price. I would definitely buy it again. hope this helps.

tbh im not quite sure but whenever my mic is on people don't tend to have problems hearing me, and i keep the mic maybe within an arm's reach from me. i hope this helps :)

Hello Mike, I do not like the microphone.. You can hear the people talking to you but the people on the other end cannot hear you like your mike is muted. If you unplug it from your computer for 15 seconds the mike will work for another couple of hours then unplug it again then will work again. I wish this was a different answer for you but its how it works for me.

My experience is that it fits well, and is NOT loose or prone to coming off. The one shortcoming is that it covers over the 2nd microphone on the new Retina model.

Not sure if this is true or not? I contacted stmbags.com in San Diego and they said the case should fit the newest Mac... but that it may cover a mic area? She said it should not impact the operation of the mic. I just bought a new MacBook Pro 13 Retina MGX82LL/A and I ordered this case. I hope the person at stmbags.com is correct and that it fits... and that the mic works fine. More to come.

If by built-in pop filter, you're referring to one of those foam sleeves that fits over the top of your mic, the answer is yes because this wind screen will do a better job than the foam sleeve. This is because the wind screen will disperse the air that will cause a pop at a greater distance from the microphone.

Yep, this thing works great for Mac, just be careful with the Mic's Mute button, there is no indication that you muted it or not when you push the button (Except it will stop transmitting until pressed again)

they can hear what you hear through your ear piece - not what's low volume around you. So if you are a heavy breather, cover the mic or switch to mute.

DOES NOT! It covers one of the two microphones (pinhole on the left side). MacBook Air had only mono microphone before. The 2013 model has stereo and one of the pinholes is covered by the case!

NO - even though a product search for "noise cancelling earbuds" will return this product in the search results with the heading "Zipbuds PRO mic Never Tangle Zipper Earbuds with Noise Canceling Mic/Remote, Black", the Noise Cancelling only refers to the microphone's ability to to block wind noise when talking... specifically the manufacturer's response was "Our intention was only to show that our mic/remote is designed to block wind, friction, and other unwanted noise from being picked up."The tight seal on the earbuds will definitely help to block some outside noise, but they are also definitely NOT noise cancelling headphones.

I'm sorry to say but skullcandy is exclusive to apple products as far as the volume button compatibility goes. The play/pause/skip button should still work as well as the mic as far as I know.

For my Macbook air, it does not cut off the sound. It pretty much is purely decorative for my devices.
