Does the bluetooth tie into siri for calling or do I need to press buttons on the phone to get a call made?

Yes, you can use siri to call your contacts via bluetooth. However, it doesn't have a siri button. You need to press the home button to wake up siri. Then you can talk with Siri using the bluetooth headset.

This works just fine with my iPhone 5s and Siri. I get directions, play music, playlists, ask questions etc. Just hold the "Tel" button below the volume knob until you hear the Siri beep.

I use the SBH-50 at work and for me it lasts over 8 hours. I do not know if you can activate Siri from SBH-50. I do not have an IPhone.

You need motospeak and your phone has to be synced via Bluetooth. You can answer incoming calls and return missed calls from your watch. You can speak commands via headset to make calls. You don't have a numeric keypad for call outs on the watch though.

Try holding down the main button until it beeps. That's how I activate Siri on the iphone.

Yes you need to press one button to answer an incoming call. Also you will need to press one button to end the call.

Your phone must have the ability to "voice dial" to be able to initiate a call through the Bluetooth speaker. If you can dial your phone by speaking "Call (person's name from your contact list)", then you can do the same thing by speaking into your Bluetooth speaker. Otherwise, you must use your phone to initiate calls. Speakerphone will receive phone calls.

It has a mute button that I use as my hold button. You cannot answer two calls at once. I do in home incoming sales calls and it is perfect.

Hold button in activates Siri. Hit once for pause. Hit button twice to go to the next song. Hit button 3 times to start song over. No volume control.

I don't have an iPhone 5 but all functions of the headset for phone are on the area of the left hand piece nearest the ear. The siri function is probably as if you were on the phone and you press the button and hold until siri answers. It has a really good microphone from which you can ask siri the question. All functions are on the back for turning it on linking your bluetooth devise. On the back also allows you to replay or fast forward.

You can tell Siri to connect you to Bluetooth, but you have to physically pair it with the Aquasound.

You can't call siri up using the button (at least I haven't found a way), but if you start siri you'll have a mixed experience. Sometimes it's workable, other times it hinders use. Most times expect to have to use it a couple times unsuccessfully before you get a successful use. Also, while using navigation you'll get cut off instructions from Siri turn by turn. I get around this by playing Spotify, Pandora, Music, etc. while using GPS. It seems having that playing stops the cut off audio issue. Not sure if it's a Bluetooth issue or a software issue.

Yes. Hold the center button for a second to get Siri. If you hold it too long you stop Bluetooth.

I had to press the power button six times and then I was able to connect it to my Bluetooth on both of my iPhones. I just had to wait for it to say waiting on connection then go into my settings and click on the cube and it connected. I had to do it with both my iPhones. I now have no issues when I turn the speaker on then my Bluetooth on. I hope this helps!!!

Yes it does. I'm currently using my iPhone 5S and my wife's 5 without issues. I haven't tried using Siri though

No, it doesn't work as a multi-function button, nor does it activate Siri or S-Voice (on Android). This is a major bummer about this otherwise nice device. If that is what you need your Bluetooth device to do, look at the Noisehush, or even most cheaper, lesser known brands - usually they do work in that manner. I have tested it on several devices. Although others state they can successfully accomplish it, it hasn't worked for me. I am an electronics engineer - so perhaps mine is defective? That's just my experience. Battery life is quite decent the limited times I have used it (because of the non-activating button). Sound quality is also good.

Yes! Only one button for play/pause, Siri, answer call, hang up, etc so no volume control, but works great on my iPhone 5. Haven't upgraded to iOS 7 yet, but I don't think that will be a problem.
