Hi! I'm looking for a wireless speaker that while playing music, will also pickup incoming skype calls (override music, so they aren't missed). Work?

Yes, it does. It will lower your music automatically, and your Skype ring will come through. When you are done, your music volume will increase again...enjoy! :)

I have been enjoying mine and if it has Bluetooth technology it should work w/ this speaker..

That is the best marketing point of this BT speaker market! Can you tell me:1. If you have connected other self powered speakers to this unit and a call comes in, what is the behavior of the other connected speakers (can you here the conversation through them as well)?2. Is this unit capable of simultaneous BT pairing (e,g. Smartphone and PS3)?

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.

Dear S., Thank you for your inquiry. The Polk Audio Camden Square is a terrific sounding portable wireless bluetooth speaker, but as it does not have a built-in microphone it cannot be used as a speakerphone. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions for you!Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

This is a bluetooth headset. Depending upon your settings for the device it is connected to, it will play whatever sounds the host device emits. That could be music, a phone call, navigation directions, etc.

Try turing speaker off. And check connections.Be careful not to let it take over your wireless device can take over your routed.ect

I have just read the other responders' more negative answers. I can't understand what they are saying. What "Bose device"? What trouble? What standard? There is a mic in there too, you know..! Can anyone of them enlighten me? I am truly interested in how I can get into trouble that I don't know about yet.... It might even help me with my SKYPE problem.

This is for playing music. I don't think it works for a phone call speaker. Also it has no input/microphone

In looking at your question once more, would have to say this device is intended for wireless microphone input to a powered PA, not transmission of audio to speakers. Suggest looking for wireless speaker transmitter devices.

Hi, Justin. I would stick with an external speaker. The BassJump is a base-reinforcement speaker that compliments the laptop's build in speakers. It works OK, but I think a separate, full range (and wireless) speaker is the way to go for training situations, which I also do as a career consultant. BTW, I just got the Bose SoundLink Mini and it is an awesome bluetooth speaker. Not cheap, but great performance for a tiny portable speaker. Fills the room with sound. You might want to check it out for your training.

You can just buy the add on speaker. Part #SPK-VELO2. It is just 900Mhz technology, like a wireless phone. In fact you can plug in as many additional speakers as you want including wireless rock speakers, floating pool speakers, hanging shower speakers etc with no limitations. There are 2 or 3 different channel settings on the back of the transmitter in case of interference or cross talk. Thats the beauty of this product - simplicity and crystal clear audio up to 150' away.

Any PA system or wireless mic pack with a mono input will work. This is not frequency specific.

You could try to use something like the Rocketfish universal or Amphony 1600 wireless rear speaker kit.

Listening to music works well. Turn on Bluetooth on phone and turn on headphones. Phone should search for nearby devices. Doesn't work for taking phone calls.

Yes for audio. You can use it either be a headphone for sounds, or it can also use softphone clients like jabber to place calls. I don't have Skype, but I imagine it would work for that also. I love this headset. Has a very long life. And it can connect to all three devices but not at the same time. Work Phone(Special cable for phone might be needed), Laptop, and Cell phone(Blue tooth).

In my opinion, there is no such thing. Wireless speakers just don't have the sound quality/clarity of wired speakers. Also, the term "wireless" is misleading. Most wireless systems simply mean that there are no wires from the receiver to the rear speakers. Most of the time, those rear speakers are still connected to a wireless receiver in the back of the room by, you guessed it, wires. The reason is that speakers need to be powered somehow. There are a few options that will give you true wireless speakers, but they require batteries, and the speakers drain the batteries fairly quickly. Unless you have no way of running wires, I suggest getting a wired system or a good quality soundbar.

Immediately, I would say these speakers were not designed for that kind of function. These speakers are more set up for an actual computer (be it a desktop or laptop; something with an operating system), but then you could use Apple's Remote app to control iTunes on said computer. Klipsch Music Center (KMC) would be what you'd want if a wireless speaker setup is what you are after. No dedicated subwoofer, however.
