Do I have to speak really close to the microphone to be heard?

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 :)

Sorry I am unable to answer your question, as the microphone is not compatible with our Mac--cannot use it.

it depends on whether you're playing music or voice. i find speech is only clear close up, and acrosss the room it's only certain voices i fully understand. with music it's fine.

You use the phone's microphone. It has been OK to use so far but some people say my voice sounds muffled on the other end.

You can, but I was getting fairly substantial distortion. I would have to turn it up very loud to hear dialogue, but then there was a loud buzz.

Depends on how many Decibels you'll be dealing with. If there's a constant bombardment of noise, the microphones will never get a "break" to allow a normal conversation. High decibels will drown out low sounds.

The audio is 'ok' at best. If the room is small and there is only one or two people talking it is fine. If you have a larger room or lots of speakers, I would recommend a dedicated mic. We used a Crown PZM-11 mic with excellent results.

I would say no. In a live situation you have to speak into the mic. You could for radio purposes turn the volume way up but your going to risk picking up all sound in the room from creaking chair to whatever.

Depending on the mode you choose, the microphone is very directional. As long as the fan is not behind you or in the direction you have the mic set to pick up, you shouldn't hear the fan unless you have it blowing right on the mic.

Yes, just speak into the microphone, it will come thru. We even use it to amplify the speaker system when watching movies, if the volume needs a boost, since my husband is hearing challenged. Enjoy!

They will not "silence" voices. You can still carry on conversations with someone close to you. Wearing them though it would be very easy to tune the world out. Hope that helps.

I have a home office - I have been told that people can hear me typing if I am not on mute. When I call into a conference line and announce myself, and hear myself entering the call, my voice is not crystal clear, but I can be heard and understood. I would say about 80% quality but not much noise cancellation.

You can hear the call fine but need to use the microphone on your phone. You dont have to the phone to your mouth.

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.

You can use regular ear buds to listen, but not speak. There is a separate smaller port for the mic that requires a compatible headset.

Yes, just make sure you have the left and right speakers on the correct ears so the mic can be heard

Yes if you are in a quiet area. Any background noise will negatively affect the microphones performance. ~G

Yes. It is not as loud or good quality as if you were recording someone talking directly, but it is clearly audible.
