Can the VOX be disabled so the user has to push the transmit button to talk?

Yes! Just go through the settings and pay attention to the VOX On or OFF display in the settings mode. Use the 'Channels Up' button to make the change. Hope that helps.

YES. Problem is that if you enable that in the sound settings it's delayed slightly and you won't be able to talk or sing.

the inline controls only allow you to play/pause, volume, forward, repeat, and make and answer calls. there's no mute button on it.

No there is not, however there is an audible "click" when the microphone crosses a threshold, when pushed up, to indicate that it is muted.

I don't quite remember but I don't think so, I believe it just has an enable/disable mic button and volume up/down controls

Unfortunately on the equipment itself, no but you do have the capability of using the mute function if you were to connect a mic to it that has that option.

yes, you can do it, they are equiped with vox control and for intercom, you just need to talk

Hi Bruce I've barely used the voice feature at all - only to disable vocal annunciation. It seems to work albeit you must speak a bit slowly & certainly clearly.

You CAN have completely hands-free transmit/receive capabilities using your Bluetooth earpiece or headset. The "trick" is that you need to enable the VOX feature for transmission. VOX is a technology that senses when you are speaking (via the Bluetooth earpiece, in this case) and automatically starts transmitting until you stop speaking. It takes a bit of "fiddling" with sensitivity levels until it is 100% reliable and can accidentally be triggered by loud ambient noises. However, it does allow you full transmit/receive capability without using your hands or any other type of additional device.

I'm afraid that there is no way to turn off that annoying(indeed) indicator voice...

Yes, you can use it. If you don´t want others listening to the speaker, press MUTE on the receiver control.

According to the instructions that came with my SB270, "Press and hold volume(-) button for 2 seconds" will mute the microphone.

Unfortunately no. No way to mute except using the inline control or via console or pc

I use the button as a signal to alert the person I want to talk to. They may not be close to their unit. I have not tried the voice activation.

There are volume buttons on the left and right hand side of the device to facilitate wearing on left or right ear I suppose. In any case simply push both buttons simultaneously until you hear " mute on" conversely hold both buttons in a similar fashion on a muted device to unmute.

There is no mute functionality on the mic through the headset. Muting has to be done through source controls.

According to their customer support, you can use the mute button on your phone to mute the speaker's mic. I just ordered one of these units and if I find it does not work this way, I'll post another answer.
