Will these headphones work as a general computer microphone or just to answer calls? I want to use it on Skype and things like that. Can it do that?

Yes...I use mine for gaming and Skype. Should be plug and play but you may have to go into control panel and set up the microphone.

They will work as general computer mic & answer calls, just not from two devices at the same time. I use mine to listen to music, while talking to guildmates over Vent/Teamspeak as we raid in game and they have no issue doing that. However if you hook up a second device to them, they will only respond/control that second device and you will no longer hear anything on your pc. (I tried using them with my Note 3 & Pc at the same time, but only could talk on the Note 3). But is sounds like you're just going to use em on your pc for Skype and such, to which they should work just fine.

I tried it out, and it routed the sound through my handset. I've been told you can use it for Skype, but I don't use Skype and can't test that. For basic phone calls, however, it appears to not work.

I bought these for my sister to do karaoke, so I asked her to respond to your questions. She said: "I am quite satisfied with these microphones. The sound quality is great and my residents prefer them over the ones I bought with my machine." I hope this helps.

This headset appears to be for smart phones based on some terms in the product description. There are headsets with mikes for PCs with a USB or dual plug connection. I bought these for gaming in case I wanted to do multi-player ( talk to someone ). When I saw your question, I had to check it out. Although the mike won't work on PC, they still rock for music and gaming.

It should work if you plug it in to Mic jack. But then you couldn't use them for actual headphones.

I have used them for Skyping on a Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet. I'm not sure that a laptop combines a mic and earphone output. These Earbuds have three rings and a tip. Typical earjacks designed for audio output are 2 rings and a tip. Wish I had a better answer for you. Maybe it will help you search out the answer better.

These Headphones can pbe plugged as voice monitor only. There is NO microphone in them. They have noise cancellation mechanism that uses internal mic, but can't be used for Phone call if plugged to S5.

I tried this and it did not work. I plugged the headphones into the microphone jack on a desktop computer running Windows XP. I went to the control panel to test if the mic was working and it was not. It doesn't seem to work this way. But I have been using the headphones for quite some time now and they are excellent. Very good sound! And the mic works great during calls also.

Yes, my mother uses it for Skype and it works very well. I was suprised by the quality of audio, it was very good.

I think you are mistaken, these headphones do not have a built in microphone. The thing is, these are headphones, the thing you are looking for are headsets(which are headphones with either a mic attachment or with a built in mic) As for if the headphones work on a Android, since I never owned one its hard to say, but if a Android can accept a standard headphone cord then it should work, they are rather light and come with both a long and short cable(one for home and the road) however they are somewhat large.

I can tell you from experience that if you have an interface, you can use this mic on Skype and messenger-like programs. I was quite surprised when I found out you could do that. But that's the same with any mic really.

These headphones have a single 3.5mm jack that combines audio input and output. Depending on the hardware your computer has, it may or may not work. If you have one single jack on your computer for both the mic and the headphones, then these will definitely work. If you have two separate jacks (one for mic and one for headphones) then these may work poorly as headphones and poorly as a mic (and not at the same time). You can buy an adapter that is supposed to split the signal to the two separate jacks on you computer aka something like this: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381445352&sr=8-2&keywords=3.5mm+mic+splitter Although my experience is that these don't always work great. So, the answer is that it depends on your computer, but you can buy an adapter that is supposed to work with all computers (though they can be tricky). If you want to primarily use these with a pc that has separate mic/headphone jacks, I would find a headset that is designed for this (USB is the way to go in my opinion).

These will work with anything that outputs through a standard headphone jack. That being said, these headphones sound best when used with a decent amplifier. Using just a headphone jack will allow for sound in your ears but the mic will require a dedicated mic jack in addition to the headphone jack to use the microphone.

i haven't had any luck so far, not because of skype but because the bluetooth on my computer won't register this as a full headset (mic and headphones) it only picks it up as headphones. i think this has something to do with pairing though. apparently it has two profiles, one utilizes remote controlling from the headphones and maybe the mic too and i guess the other only supports the headphones. i guess i'm going to try to UNPAIR them and see if that works.

It just utilizes a standard 3.5 mm jack, so as long as your computer has a speaker-out jack I would expect them to work. However I haven't used them on anything other than a windows 7 machine and iPad (they work fine on both).
