Hi Karla. Yes it does work with any bluetooth pairing device, including computers. And as far as background noise...there really is none. I can hear their conversations well, & they can hear me too. Especially cause i'm a truck driver, i use the small cotton filter that's already included, on the tip of the speaker to filter out any noise or wind on my background. They can always hear me clearly. Hope this helps :-)

Yes, this works on any phone that has bluetooth. The background noise is virtually non-existent. I have used this headset while driving a loud tractor trailer, and the person on the other end doesn't hear any noise. Very good headset.

I have used my blue parrot with the Casio commando and now a Samsung Galaxy S-4. the only complaint I have is that when I make an out going call, the Samsung shows a voice command page but I cannot use voice to command whom to call. If I look up the contact and physically instigate call, The rest of the blue tooth features work very well. volume is great. and noise cancelling work well in the pick up mic . But if the other party does not have a noise cancelling feature, you will still hear the noise of their surroundings

It does work as a speaker phone with my iphone4 so I want to say, yes it would. BUT people can't hear me too well when I use it; that might affect what Siri thinks you're saying. I can hear people just fine. BUT that could be because I use it primarily in the bathroom and the acoustics are a lil odd.

No, not for cell phones. I use this at my office on my desk phone since our phone system is not very good. My cell phone performs much better for volume. One trick is to get a pair of headphones on your cell phone to talk to people. iPhones have head phones with a built in mic. However, most cell phones have a limiter so that you don't blow your eardrums out. If you've got serious hearing issues, you may want to consult your audiologist for a solution to your cell phone.

It sucks. It barely boosts the audio. And it only works if your iPhone is not in a case. It has to be just the iphone. If your phone has a protective case, it won't fit.

I think its loud but I am not hard of hearing, I actually have it on medium, so I would think it is ok. You can always return phone if it doesn't work. The reason I wanted it was 4 AT&T; phones I tried the speaker did not work right. It works great on this phone.

Yes. It does "work". Not as blue tooths normally do though. I have the same phone. I can't speak into it what so ever. Not to have it dial a number, get the date/time, or access my phone in any way. It's only a hands-free device I use to redial and speak to people that call and the sound quality is horrible to the reciever of my calls with it. They say it sounds like I'm in a box. Plus, voice quality is a big problem when it comes to outside noise or even the wind blowing. It is cheap though.

I'm curious about types as well, I have an iPhone 4 and this looks like a good product. The negative reviews sound like people that are just mad in general and I'm looking for a good speaker that can work with my current phone.

Does not work well with a cell phone. When you have your phone connected to the speaker and try to answer a call, no one can hear you. Have to turn off the speaker first, readjust your mic settings and then call the person back. Also, it's loud if you're in the same room, but overall it really is not very loud. Can probably hear from 8 feet away max.

I am sure for house and room make loud enough, my phone is very small and the speaker make it loud a lot, my advise, try it, anyway is very cheap you will like it, I never try it for bike.

It works for phones that use a mini USB to charge, which has to do with the model of your actual phone and is not related to the carrier. Generally most non-apple smart phones use them.

Sorry I really don't know about your devices. I just know it works on the ipad and iphone. And it really sounds great !

The mute function on this phone works great for me. No sounds or clicks but, depending on the constant background noise level of the environment you use it in, there may be a major contrast in the silence of mute causing a noticable transition when turning mute on on/off. But this will be the case with any phone I suppose.

It has an aux output so it's like a headphone jack. It works with all iPhones I have used.

This can get pretty loud for a small portable device, but the louder you play it, the shorter the battery lasts. I think it could easily drown out reasonable/ moderate background noise. It gets louder than the sleep sheep by cloud b.

I have my IPhone hooked to the speaker via blue tooth and play music while not on a call (Pandora) when a call comes in, it silences the music and rings (just like the phone normally does.) Music resumes when I hang up.

I have only used it for the iPod and cannot try the iPhone as I have a waterproof case on it. I imagine it will work a bit like having the sound of the ringtone and speaker go through a GPS in the car. I.e., it should amplify some if you increase the volume.
