I'm on my iPhone constantly for work mostly conference calls. How is the microphone? Do people say you sound clear during a conversation?

I don't believe there is a mic. It just works with one... Mine are dead in a year. Not a fan of these earphones. Too heavy and not a good fit.

Well I rarely use the microphone. But when I have uaed it no one had any complaints about voice clarity or asked me to repeat

Hi John,The microphone was very good. I liked these headphones except for the fact that the audio failed in one, than the other, earpiece.Regardstim

Yep, it has a mic and is great as a speakerphone . I've had no complaints on how I sound to others.

People tell me that I sound "normal" to them for a cell phone call. And, yes they can hear in noisy environments. I use mine more for listening to music from my iPhone. It's great not having wires hanging and yet still getting a decent sound. Also, the "tapping" works well to activate features such as forward to next song etc.

It's pretty good when I use it for phone calls. The only time I have problems are when I cover the mic up by mistake.

EDIT:Agreed, it should work just fine. I tested it on my co-worker's iPhone 5, worked like a charm. Mic, volume control, play/pause. Good to go, I still recommend.

I have only used the microphone during a phone call one time but the person seemed to hear me just fine. The music/media completely stops and my phone begins to vibrate (I keep my phone on vibrate but if I had a ringtone I'm assuming my ring tone would come on since the music turns off). I hope this helps.

I've got a MacBook Air and use Skype and GoToMeeting. The Plantronics would get confused when switching applications. It also would get hung up if I'd go from USB to Bluetooth and then try to go back. People had a hard time hearing me. When I plugged in the headset that came with my iPhone the people immediately commented on the improved quality. I returned the Plantronics and am sticking with the iPhone headset for now. It's a great idea that didn't work we'll for me. The iPhone ear buds are also more comfortable if you spend hours on calls like me.

The speaker phone is pretty good, sounds clear and the mic is sensitive enough. The interface with android is also good; you can switch to phone if you don't want the conversation public, then it'll go right back to the music when you hang up.

Very much so. I am also in the work from home category and I use this product with Skype. I have never had a complaint about someone having a problem hearing me and everything sounds clear to me as well. The range on this is also great. My office is upstairs and I can go downstairs and out the door without loosing quality. Of course my house is not huge either :)

I've had no issue with speaking volume and use just my normal speaking voice. The mic is sensitive and like many competitors background noise in a crowded area like a restaurant can be prevalent.

This is a good mic. I purchased it for my church. We have a mackie system that it is hooked into. It gives a great clear sound. We have also used it for conferences at hotels. It was a great buy and I would highly recommend it.

My friends say the mic is a bit muffled but clearly understandable. I use them on Skype and TS both.

Hi Coty, have youtried the speakerphone function? how sensitive the mic is? can you speak like 0.5 m to 1 m from the mic and yet the other side still hear you clearly?

Funny you mention it. I've read a few people stating so, not many though. I think people are more worried about hearing others, not others hearing them. However, this is the key feature I'm looking for. I'm trying to replace my Panasonic KX-TG2730, which my Dad can't hear me on at all. I thought he was going deaf, until a house guest called me at work from my phone and I realized it's been my phone the whole time. I have numerous other people asking me to speak up too. I would like this phone, it's got excellent reviews, but I'm going to do a little more research first.

My calls are great, both ways. I use my headset for work on Skype. Great sound, clear. Sometimes I have trouble getting a call to connect, but that is an internet issue. Once connected, my calls sound as good as any phone. Very happy with my B250-XT.

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.

I have a Plantronics headset with mic and it has worked fine for me; though I have only used it for Go To Meeting calls.
