I plan to use this exclusively for listening to audiobooks. Is it possible to remove the mic boom? Also, can you play/resume from the headset? Thanks!

Don't think so, just swing it up. Play/resume depends on the paired device never tried it with any thing but my phone.

No, the mic boom can not be removed. Although you can start / stop play from the headset, it is very difficult to get working properly.

Answer to the first question is no you cannot remove it but you can have it point straight up and out of your face and you can also use this on either side of the head. You can play/pause from the headset by clicking the volume up and down at the same time. Very easy to do.

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5

Yeah you just don't plug the mic cable into the back of your computer/sound card and use your dedicated mic instead. Then you can retract the tiamat mic into the headset itself, and it won't even be in your way.

Btw... On mine the menu option to turn audio on/off didn't get rid of the voice. I assumed it turned of the mic for recording audio. Maybe mines gotta bug... I donno. Or maybe I'm just an idiot ;)

I guess it depends on how loud the sound is. I don't listen to very loud music. The headset has a nice quality and can easily cancel any external noise. So I don't need to increase the volume to enjoy it. I asked people living with me in the same house. And they say that can't hear anything. But iam not sure about very loud music. Sorry for the super late response

There is a mic and it doesn't work really well with hearing though I can say that after using it for chat on Skype, Yahoo, Gmail, and on my mobile phone... That the quality of my voice is not very good. No matter how I hold the mic up to my mouth in any angle that I can, it doesn't change the quality besides being louder when my mouth is closer. The mic is attached to the wire, it isn't attached to the headpiece itself. As for listening quality though, it is worth it and has an amazing noise-reduction.

Here is how I use it. Turn the devices volume just a little high. Use the volume control to turn it down to your liking. The range is enough to turn it down to FULL OFF, with no audio coming thru. I am glad I brought it.

There are no adjustments for any noise canceling of this headset. It is an across the board high quality microphone and stereo/mono speakers. I can tell you this; the sound comes in booming loud and clear. The mic has not been any problem to anyone on the receiving end however I am not in a background high noise environment therefore I cannot judge on what the mic might pickup from that sort of condition.

Hello, I use the mic to video football games on the sidelines. I always had the mic on but tried with it in normal position and extended range. I can pick up a lot more action (voices of players and coaches) in the extended mode. It does make a difference. I never turned it off before.

Yes, You have to hold Vol+ & Vol- for 3 Seconds to mute/un-mute, so not as user friendly for gaming as I'd like in that aspect, but the headset works great overall. Definitely recommend for the price.

The MIC built into the headset still has issues. A replacement Boom Mic Pro can be obtained for free by contacting Polk directly. The replacement Mic completely fixes all problems.

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.

Sorry, but I am coming up with the same thing as you. The only thing I can figure is that you may just tap it for mute and hold down for off. I have not had a chance to try this yet so I am just guessing. Hope this is of some help.

Sorry Nick but the mic is a 1 button click process. It ends and starts calls and pauses and plays music. So if you want to pause music is should be fine.

Mic be removed from head set and used as lapel mic or hand held, though not much to hold on to. Mic must be in very close proximity to mouth for clear, audible sound. I was dissatisfied and returned unit
